CHAPTER I. 

THE PEOPLE OF THE RESTLESS FEET. 

The Jewyou will find him everywhere; no matter what 
continent, what country you may go to, you will ever find the 
tell-tale face of the Child of Abraham. Where the city, or 
town of any size in the civilized world, where you cannot see 
above some store, or factory, a name that strikes you at once 
as the name of a Jew? a race, some representative of which 
you meet in almost every street of the cities of the world. 
They are indeed the children of the restless feet. They seem 
readily to be acclimated in every land under the sun, but never 
amalgamated, never lost, never losing identity, never absorbed 
by the surrounding people; no matter how long they live in 
any country, in the midst of any people, they are still Jews. 
And it is a fact, they are at best only tolerated, we may add, 
with grim jest, by the freest and most enlightened nations of 
the world. Fain would the rich Jews be rid of their race 
taint they would fain be counted American, English, French, 
German, Russian yet they are, notwithstanding their protests, 
prayers, beseechings, tears, threats and promises simply Jews. 

In France, Germany, Russia, even in England and America, 
in every land, in every nation, no matter what the tongue, in 
the islands of the sea, whenever the Jew comes to a Gentile's 
eye, there is, oft unconsciously, within the heart a certain con- 
temptuous sneer, unuttered perchance by the lips but nestling 
in the mind "that Jew !" 

Surely the knowledge of Jewish isolation must at some time 
or other have been brought home to the mind of every Gentile 
man and woman in the world. It is a glaring fact, that one 
should not put aside, and banish from one's thoughts lightly, 



10 ., (/ ... . THAT JEW* 

as a singular thing, but of no real importance. And yet such 
a conclusion as "of no importance" is fatal in some measure to 
every Gentile of the civilized world. This Jew Question is one 
of the most vital importance for on it hangs the most mo- 
mentous event, which, when it happens, will affect the earthly 
and eternal welfare of every living creature on the face of the 
earth. 

The Jew Question will not down, and cannot be put down, 
neither settled, nor put out of sight, either by the love or the 
hate of the combined Gentile nations. 

It is therefore a most important duty I say most emphatic- 
ally, Duty of every Gentile, to look into, to ponder with sin- 
cere and honest consideration, this, of all, the most far reach- 
ing and vital to every Gentile this wide world over this Jew 
Question. 

And on this question it is vain to turn to History, Philoso- 
phy, Jurisprudence, or the learning of the past ages, for the 
solution. We have only one source of information perfectly 
true in every line, without a fleck or single flaw (except per- 
chance some stray mistake of the Ancient Copiest) in the 
entire volume. If one turns to this volume and prayerfully 
desires information, taking the words in their utmost sim- 
plicity, driving from the mind any spiritualizing, he will find 
his soul flooded with a light from the eternal throne, as to 
the unchanging purposes of JEHOVAH towards this Jew. And 
mingled with the Jew, the purpose of God towards the Gentile, 
and also the future of this great world. The Jew Question has 
been the puzzle of the ages a source of vexation and trouble 
to the kings and emperors of the world they have flattered 
and murdered, tolerated and despised; human ingenuity has 
been racked as to the best means to get rid of them, to work 
them ill of every conceivable kind, to blot them from the earth, 
but all to no purpose. They laugh and mock at emperors, 
kings, warriors, statesmen, and all in authority the great ones 
that would slay have passed away and there, yet unconquered 
and unvanquished stands this despicable Jew ! 

In this question there is a trinity, a trinity composed of a 
book, a people and a land, the three inseparable; all linked 
together, as it were, with a golden chain by the hands of 



THAT JEW! 11 

JEHOVAH and no human nor devil's hand can wrest asunder 
what, GOD hath joined together in His eternal purpose. 

The book is GOD'S revelation, not to the Jew alone, but to 
all humanity but it is only through the Jew, that humanity has 
been, and will be, blest. 

The people a peculiar, separated people, that has been, and 
will, be, the source of every blessing to every creature under 
heaven. 

The land was theirs, and will yet be theirs throughout all 
the blessed ages to come. 

Of this people it was written 3393 years ago: "I will scatter 
you among the nations. I will send a faintness into their 
hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken 
leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a 
sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. And they 
shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword when 
none pursueth; and ye shall have no power to stand before 
your enemies." 

It was written of them 2640 years ago: 

"To tread them down like the mire of the streets!" 

Are not the above words true of the eastern European Jews 
to-day ? 

Of this land it was written 3393 years ago: 

"I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries 
unto desolation. And I will bring the land unto desolation; 
and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at 
it. Your land shall be desolate and your cities waste. Then 
shall the land enjoy her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, 
and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land 
rest, and enjoy her Sabbaths. As long as it lieth desolate it 
shall rest; because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye 
dwelt upon it." 

Who will dispute the fact that the land has been a most un- 
fruitful one for some eighteen centuries? 

Will the reader note that these words were spoken against 
the people and the land some forty years before the people 
entered the land under Joshua to possess the land. 

And 3393 years ago JEHOVAH said also of the people: 

"Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also 



12 THAT JEW! 

my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham 
will I remember!" 

And 3393 years ago JEHOVAH said: 

"And I will remember the land!" 

THE LORD is not slack concerning His promise, as some men 
count slackness.

CHAPTER II. 

AS TO THE LAND. 

When one has made up his mind (the owner being willing) 
to purchase a certain lot of land, the first request that he 
makes is : 

"Have you a perfect title? Please have the abstract of the 
property brought down to date, and I shall have my lawyer 
examine; if your title be without flaw, I will immediately 
pay you." 

Every wise would-be purchaser of a home, or an investment, 
will have the most competent lawyer examine the title before 
he pays for the property. Now let us see why this Jew claims 
the land of Canaan for his own. How was the title first in- 
vested in him? And if that title is without flaw, though he is 
a long time without possession (if he has not sold it, and he 
never has as far as mortal man's records go), then he has a 
perfect right to take possession of the land. The Jew never 
willingly gave up the land; he was always forcibly driven from 
his homestead. 

The creator of any property is the absolute owner. As 
JEHOVAH created the world in ages long past, and six thousand 
years ago formed it, and shaped it to His will, HE had a per- 
fect right to give the land HE calls "Holy" to whomsoever His 
sovereign love desired. The Jews claim the land because 
JEHOVAH was the grantor to their Father Abraham. 

Let us look up the records: In the many recorded inter- 
views of JEHOVAH with Abraham we find mention of the land 
in six, written as follows: 

ist Interview: "Get thee * * * to a land that I will 
show thee." 

2d Interview: "Unto thy seed will I give this land." 

3d Interview: "Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the 
place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, 
and westward. For all the land which thou seest, to thee will 



14 THAT JEW! 

I give it, and to thy seed forever. Arise, walk through the 
land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will 
give it unto thee." 

4th Interview: "I am THE LORD that brought thee out of 
Ur of the Chaldees to give thee this land to inherit it." 

5th Interview : "In the same day THE LORD made a covenant 
with Abraham, saying: 'Unto thy seed have I given this land, 
from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Eu- 
phrates: The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmon- 
ites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, 
and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and 
the Jebusites/" 

6th Interview: "And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed 
after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of 
Canaan, for an EVERLASTING POSSESSION/' 

The reader of these records must of necessity observe one 
very particular feature, namely, the land was given to Abraham 
without a single, solitary condition; the metes and bounds 
were laid down carefully, and absolutely given without consid- 
eration, as an everlasting possession. The children of Israel 
then have a perfectly clear title to the land; it is absolutely 
theirs without the shadow of a flaw. 

They never sold it; they were driven forcibly from the land; 
they have a right to possess it whenever they enter into its 
bounds. 

And not only to Abraham, but also to his son Isaac, JEHO- 
VAH in His first recorded interview with the latter, said, as 
follows : 

"Go not down unto Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall 
tell thee of; sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and 
will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give 
all these countries; and I will perform the oath which I sware 
unto Abraham, thy father; and I will make thy seed to multi- 
ply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these 
countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth 
be blessed. Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept 
my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws." 

And among the few recorded interviews between JEHOVAH 
and Jacob, we read: "I am THE LORD GOD of Abraham, thy 



THAT JEW! 15 

father, and the GOD of Isaac. The land wherein thou liest, to 
thee will I give it, and to thy seed ; and thy seed shall be as 
the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, 
and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in 
thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be 
blessed." 

"And GOD said unto him: Thy name is Jacob; thy name 
shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy 
name; and he called his name Israel. And GOD said unto him: 
I AM GOD ALMIGHTY. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and 
a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come 
out of thy loins; and the land which I gave Abraham and 
Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I 
give the land." 

According to GOD'S promise, the children of Israel were 
given part of the land; but never once did they, though com- 
ing very near to it in the reign of King Solomon, possess the 
limits of the tract of land granted by GOD to Abraham in his 
fifth recorded interview. 

There has been a witty sneer that JEHOVAH of the Jews 
must have been a very little God when he gave them such a 
small tract of land. But the wit's sneers were made in pro- 
found ignorance, for the dimensions of the land as originally 
given, and yet to be occupied by Israel in the near future, form 
indeed an imperial stretch of country. 

Again, it has been said, that Israel by their wickedness made 
null and void all the promises of GOD. What profound stu- 
pidity is this; what a misconception of the mind of the grantor? 
The land was given to Abraham and his seed without a condi- 
tion. Once given, the grantor could not afterwards make con- 
ditions that the inheritors were bound to respect. The land 
was given absolutely from JEHOVAH to Abraham and his seed 
for an everlasting possession (talking with the utmost rev- 
erence) GOD could not four hundred years afterward say, 
"Certain conditions must be observed or the land shall cease 
to be yours." Binding conditions must be stated before, not 
after the warranty deed is given. JEHOVAH has a perfect right 
to say what children of Abraham shall occupy the land, but 



16 THAT JEW! 

HE does not for one instant question the right and title of a 
son of Abraham to the land. 

His Holy Prophets give no uncertain sound on this point 
Hundreds of passages state, in unmistakably simple language, 
that though Israel has sinned and polluted His land, yet it is 
His loving intention to purify His land, to bring them back 
from the nations amid whom HE has scattered them, that they 
shall dwell in the land, theirs for an everlasting possession, 
and they shall not again lose, nor be driven from the land. 

The trouble with the children of Israel was, they were en- 
tirely too ready to make promises. After coming out of Egypt 
they said to JEHOVAH at Sinai, that they would obey His com- 
mandments and keep His laws. Quite forgetting they were 
poor, sinful humanity, who could not keep His commandments. 
Then JEHOVAH promised that if they would obey HIM, HE 
would bless them and make of them a great nation; that if 
they did not obey HIM, HE would most certainly turn against 
them and drive them from their land. But never for one in- 
stant did JEHOVAH entertain the thought of breaking His oath 
with Abraham. HE may drive a certain generation from His 
land, but HE never had one wish, desire, or thought, of taking 
away the land for good from Abraham's seed. 



THAT JEW! 17 



CHAPTER III. 

GOD'S PURPOSES AS REGARDS THE PEOPLE. 

It is interesting to note the sovereign and unchangeable love 
which JEHOVAH had, has, and will have, towards the Despica- 
ble Jew! Let us examine into its source and begin at the be- 
ginning. Let us look into the promises of GOD to Abraham. 
The recorded interviews between JEHOVAH and His friend 
must be our only reliable source of information. 

The first interview: "Get thee out of thy country, and from 
thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I 
will shew thee. And I will make of thee a great nation, and 
I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be 
a blessing; and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse 
him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all the families of 
the earth be blessed." 

And Abram went out, not knowing whither he went. 

The third interview enlarges the blessing, as follows: 

"And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth; so that 
if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed 
also be numbered." 

In the fourth interview, THE LORD brought him forth from 
the tent, and as Abram stood there, at night, JEHOVAH said: 

"Look now towards heaven and tell the stars if thou be able 
to number them so shall thy seed be." 

In the fifth interview, Abram had taken an heifer, a she 
goat, and a ram, and slain them, dividing them in twain 
separating the pieces, leaving a passageway between. Also 
slaying a turtle dove and a young pigeon, but dividing them 
not, he placed the one over against the other. 

Now all this was in accordance with a much practiced orien- 
tal custom of those days. When two persons desired to make 
a covenant they slew and divided a heifer, a goat and a ram. 
The halves were placed opposite each other, leaving a passage- 
way between. Then each one of the two making the agree- 



18 THAT JEW! 

ment passed between those divided carcasses, thus taking upon 
himself an oath to keep the covenant. 

But in this case we read: "When the fowls came down 
upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away. And when the 
sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and lo, 
an horror of great darkness fell upon him." In this condi- 
tion Abram saw JEHOVAH pass between the slain animals, and 
thus JEHOVAH took upon HIMSELF alone the whole responsi- 
bility of the covenant. To use a common expression, "It was 
altogether a one-sided affair; one party the actor, the other 
only a spectator." 

As JEHOVAH walked between the carcasses, HE made a cov- 
enant with Abram. Notice, the words are all from JEHOVAH'S 
lips. HE makes the promises, and the promises are entirely 
unconditional. HE demands nothing in return the sovereign 
gives, and asks nothing at the hands of the subject. 

In the sixth interview: "I AM THE ALMIGHTY GOD. Walk 
before ME, and be thou perfect, and I will make MY covenant 
between ME and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. As 
for ME, behold MY covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a 
father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be 
called Abram, but thy name shall be called Abraham; for a 
father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make 
thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, 
and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish MY 
covenant, to be a GOD unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 
And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the lan'd 
wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an 
everlasting possession: and I will be their GOD. Sarah, thy 
wife, shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his 
name Isaac. And I will establish my covenant with him for 
an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him." 

In the tenth and last recorded interview: "By myself have 
I sworn, saith THE LORD, that in blessing I will bless thee, and 
in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the 
heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore: and thy 
seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. And in thy seed 
shall all the nations of the earth be blessed." 

Is it not rather strange that as a body the entire Christian 



THAT JEW! 19 

Church is very glib in repeating as a most precious promise, 
a sentence of eleven words, repeated twice only (in the first 
and last interviews), as if that alone were the only promise of 
any value in the utterances of GOD to Abraham. The precious 
words: "In thee shall all the families of the earth be blest," 
treasured, and repeated o'er and o'er hundreds of times in 
each lifetime, while all the other promises of GOD to Abraham 
are looked on as a dead letter. This has been a fatal mistake 
on the churches' part; with a wilful blindness they have robbed 
Israel of all their precious promises, and by so doing have not 
enriched themselves. Nay, this ignoring of GOD'S purposes 
towards Israel has proved a pitfall to them; has made them 
weak where they should be strong; has filled the heart with 
wild hopes and foolish desires, making them frantic in the 
chase of a phantom; made them so foolish as to believe that 
the Gentiles would convert the world to CHRIST before CHRIST 
came back, and before the Jews were converted as a nation. 
They despised the real olive tree; they, the engrafted branches, 
alone were the real branches. And now, because their foolish 
plans for the hasty conversion of the world fail, they must 
need get a newer Gospel, not the Gospel of Redemption from 
sin by the blood of CHRIST, but one from their darkened un- 
derstandings a lie, called "The Fatherhood of God!" "The 
Brotherhood of Man!" The civilization born from Christianity 
is to be the Saviour of mankind. 

In the first of the two interviews recorded between JEHO- 
VAH and Isaac "Sojourn in this land and I will be with thee, 
and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will 
give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I 
sware unto Abraham, thy father; and I will make thy seed 
to multiply as the stars of heaven and will give unto thy seed 
all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the families of the 
earth be blessed." 

In the first interview with Jacob, JEHOVAH said: "I am the 
LORD GOD of Abraham, thy father, and the GOD of Isaac: thy 
seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread 
abroad; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of 
the earth be blessed." 

In the fourth interview: "And GOD said unto him, thy name 



20 THAT JEW! 

is Jacob; thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but 
Israel shall be thy name; I AM GOD ALMIGHTY: be fruitful 
and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of 
thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins." 

When Israel came out of Egypt when they had not yet 
passed over Jordan when but a small portion of the land was 
conquered, we read the following words, sounding in our ears 
as if an historical record of the Jews for the last 1800 years, 
partly true to-day in Russia, in Roumania every daily paper 
recording the fulfillment of words uttered 3400 years ago. And 
yet in face of this, men calling themselves Christian ministers, 
of every denomination Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists, 
Episcopalians all would fain drive inspiration from the Old 
Testament utterances. Surely we are nigh unto the last fell 
apostacy. 

"And THE LORD said unto Moses, behold thou shalt sleep 
with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go awhoring 
after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to 
be among them, and will forsake ME, and break MY covenant 
which I have made with them. Then mine anger shall be 
kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and 
I will hide MY face from them, and they shall be devoured, 
and many evils and troubles shall befall them." 

In Moses* address to the children of Israel we read: "And 
thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb and a by-word, 
among all nations whither THE LORD shall lead thee. And THE 
LORD shall scatter thee among all people, and from one end of 
the earth even unto the other. And among these nations shalt 
thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy feet rest; but 
THE LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing 
of eyes, and sorrow of mind; and thy life shall hang in doubt 
before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have 
no assurance of thy life. In the morning thou shalt say, 
'Would God it were even/ and at even thou shalt say, 'Would 
God it were morning'; for the fear of thine heart wherewith 
thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes, which thou 
shalt see." 

Yet how gracious are the words spoken immediately after : 

"And it shall come to pass when all these things are come 



THAT JEW! 21 

upon thee * * * and thou shalt call them to mind among 
the nations, whither THE LORD THY GOD hath driven thee, and 
shalt return unto THE LORD THY GOD and shalt obey His voice 
according to all that I commanded thee this day, thou and thy 
children with all thy heart, and with all thy soul; that then 
THE LORD THY GOD will turn thy captivity, and have compas- 
sion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the 
nations whither THE LORD THY GOD hath scattered thee. If 
any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, 
from thence will THE LORD THY GOD gather thee, and from 
thence will HE fetch thee. And THE LORD THY GOD will bring 
thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shall 
possess it: and HE will do thee good and multiply thee above 
thy fathers." 

Now here for over 1800 years stands GOD'S promise to Israel, 
that if they would turn to HIM with heart and soul, HE stands 
ever waiting for their return ever ready, eager, and willing 
to be gracious and bless them. But it has stood on the book 
an unfulfilled blessing, for their hearts have departed from THE 
LIVING GOD. It is a wonderful thought, that JEHOVAH has 
stood, century after century, ready at any moment to rescue 
them from the hands of their enemies, ready at any moment to 
bless them, and they with this blessed promise in their hands, 
with the volume ever opened at this promise, would riot heed, 
nor understand, so that they themselves have been the cause 
of all their misery. The blessing was ever ready, yet they in 
wilful blindness have bent their backs to their enemies century 
after century in blood, in tears, in lamentations, in woe. 

And GOD, knowing well the human heart, knowing well they 
would not accept the conditions, knowing well if they were 
ever saved as a nation it must be a work of grace and of 
grace alone spoke therefore even before they were taken from 
the land to Babylon by His Holy Prophets and declared that 
His own arm would bring salvation. That HE would save them 
for His own name's sake, and for the oath which HE had sworn 
to Abraham: that His grace, mercy and peace should be en- 
tirely unconditional. They were to be recipients of His love 
His gifts would be bestowed by their KING in sovereign grace. 

"For behold in those days and in that time when I shall 



22 THAT JEW! 

bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem I will also 
gather all nations and will bring them down into the valley of 
Jehoshaphat, and I will plead with them there for MY people, 
and for MY heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among 
the nations and parted MY land. THE LORD shall roar out of 
Zion and utter His voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and 
the earth shall shake; but THE LORD will be the hope of His 
people and the strength of the children of Israel. * * * 
Judah shall dwell forever, and Jerusalem from generation to 
generation. For lo, I will command, and I will sift the house 
of Israel among all nations like as corn sifted in a sieve, yet 
shall not the least grain fall upon the earth ; and I will bring 
again the captivity of my people Israel and I will plant them 
upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of 
their land which I have given them, saith THE LORD THY GOD. 

Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in ME is thine 
help. I will heal their backsliding. I will love them freely, 
for mine anger is turned away from him. I will be as the 
dew unto Israel; he shall grow as the lily and cast forth his 
roots as Lebanon. His branches shall spread, and his beauty 
shall be as the olive tree and his smell as Lebanon. 

But upon Mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall 
be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their pos- 
sessions. 

1 will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely 
gather the remnant of Israel ; I will put them together as the 
flock in the midst of the fold ; they shall make great noise by 
reason of the multitude of men. And their KING shall pass 
before them, and THE LORD on the head of them. And thou, O 
tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, 
unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion. The kingdom 
shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. In that day, saith 
THE LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather 
her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; and I 
will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast 
off a strong nation; and THE LORD shall reign over them in 
Mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. And the remnant 
of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from 
THE LORD, as the shower upon the grass, that tarrieth not 



THAT JEW! 23 

for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men. Who is a GOD like 
unto THEE, that pardoneth iniquity and passeth by the trans- 
gression of the remnant of this heritage? HE retaineth not 
His anger forever because HE delighteth in mercy * * * 
Will cast all their sins unto the depths of the sea. 

Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and re- 
joice with all thy heart, O daughter of Jerusalem; the king of 
Israel, even THE LORD, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not 
see evil any more. THE LORD THY GOD in the midst of thee 
is mighty; HE will save. HE will rejoice over thee with joy; 
HE will rest in His love; HE will joy over thee with singing. 

I will turn my hand upon thee and purely purge away thy 
dross, and take away thy sin * * * thou shalt be called 
The City of Righteousness, the Faithful City. Zion shall be 
redeemed with judgment. And many people shall say, Come 
ye and let us go up to the mountain of THE LORD, to the house 
of THE GOD of Jacob; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, 
and the word of THE LORD from Jerusalem. He that is left 
in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called 
holy. When THE LORD shall have washed away the filth of the 
daughter of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusa- 
lem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by 
the spirit of burning, and THE LORD will create upon every 
dwelling place of Mount Zion, and upon her assemblies a cloud 
and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; 
for upon all the glory shall be a defense. And there shall be 
a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and 
for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from 
rain. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall 
be no end upon the throne of David and upon His Kingdom, to 
order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice 
from henceforth, even for ever the zeal of THE LORD OF 
HOSTS will perform this. 

Fear not, for I am with thee. I will bring thy seed from 
the east, and gather thee from the west. I will say to the 
north, give up; and to the south, keep not back. I even I, 
am THE LORD. And besides me there is no SAVIOUR. I AM 
THE LORD, YOUR HOLY ONE, THE CREATOR OF ISRAEL, YOUR 
KING. This people have I formed for MYSELF: they shall show 



24 THAT JEW! 

forth MY praise. But thou hast not called upon ME, O Jacob, 
but thou hast been weary of ME. O Israel, I, even I, AM HE 
that blotteth out thy transgressions for MY OWN name's sake, 
and will not remember thy sins. I will pour MY spirit upon 
thy seed, and MY blessing upon thy offspring; and they shall 
spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. 
Fear ye not, neither be afraid, ye are even MY witnesses. I 
have formed thee; thou art my servant. O Israel, thou shalt 
not be forgotten of ME. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, 
thy transgressions, and as a cloud, thy sins; return unto ME; 
for I have redeemed thee. Sing, O ye heavens, for THE LORD 
hath done it. Shout, ye lower parts of the earth. Break forth 
into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein; 
for THE LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified HIMSELF in 
Israel. Israel shall be saved in THE LORD with an everlast- 
ing salvation. Ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world 
without end. In THE LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justi- 
fied and shall glory. And therefore will THE LORD wait, that 
HE may be gracious unto you; and therefore will HE be ex- 
alted that HE may have mercy upon you; for THE LORD is a 
God of judgment; blessed are all they that wait for HIM. For 
the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; thou shalt weep 
no more. HE will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of 
thy cry. When HE shall hear it, HE will answer thee. Com- 
fort ye, comfort ye MY people, saith your GOD. Speak ye 
comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her that her warfare 
is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. O Zion, that 
bringest good tidings, get thee up into thy high mountain. O 
Jerusalem, that bringeth good tidings, lift up thy voice with 
strength. Lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of 
Judah, Behold your GOD! Behold, THE LORD GOD will come 
with a strong hand, and His arm shall rule for HIM. Behold, 
His reward is with HIM, and His work before HIM. HE shall 
feed His flock like a shepherd; HE shall gather the lambs 
with His arms, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently 
lead them that are with young. Thou, Israel, are MY servant. 
Jacob, whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham MY friend. 
Thou art MY servant; I have chosen thee and not cast thee 
off. Fear thou not; for I am with thee. Be not dismayed; 



THAT JEW! 25 

for I AM THY GOD. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help 
thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of MY 
righteousness. Behold all they that were incensed against thee 
shall be ashamed and confounded; they shall be as nothing; 
and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek 
them, and shalt not find them, even them that contend 
with thee; they that war against thee shall be as nothing, 
and as a thing of naught. For I, THE LORD THY GOD, will 
hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not, I will help 
thee; fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I 
will help thee, saith THE LORD, and THY REDEEMER, THE HOLY 
ONE OF ISRAEL. That they may see, and know, and consider, 
and understand together that the hand of THE LORD hath done 
this, and THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL hath created it. But now 
thus saith THE LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and HE that 
formed thee, O Israel, fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I 
have called thee by thy name; thou art MINE. When thou 
passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through 
the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest 
through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the 
flame kindle upon thee. For I AM THE LORD THY GOD, THE 
HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, THY SAVIOUR. 

MY salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in 
Zion for Israel MY glory. But Zion said, THE LORD hath for- 
saken me, and my LORD hath forgotten me. Can a woman for- 
get her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on 
the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not 
forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of MY 
hands : thy walls are continually before ME. Thus saith THE 
LORD GOD, Behold, I will lift up MINE hand to the Gentiles, 
and set up MY standard to the people: and they shall bring 
thy sons in thine arms, and thy daughters shall be carried 
upon their shoulders. And kings shall be thy nursing fathers 
and queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee, 
with their faces toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy 
feet: and thou shalt know that I AM THE LORD, for they shall 
not be ashamed that wait for ME: all flesh shall know that I 
THE LORD AM THY SAVIOUR AND THY REDEEMER, THE MIGHTY 
ONE OF JACOB. I, even I, am HE that comforteth 1 you: who 



26 THAT JEW! 

art thou that thou shouldst be afraid of a man that shall die, 
and the son of man which shall be made as grass. * * * I 
have covered thee in the shadow of MINE hand, and say unto 
Zion, Thou art MY people. Break forth into joy, sing together 
ye waste places of Jerusalem: for THE LORD hath comforted 
His people; HE hath redeemed Jerusalem. All thy children 
shall be taught of THE LORD: and great shall be the peace of 
thy children. In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou 
shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from 
terror, for it shall not come near thee. 

And THE REDEEMER shall come to Zion, and unto them that 
turn from transgression in Jacob, saith THE LORD. As for ME, 
this is My covenant with them, saith THE LORD. MY spirit 
that is upon thee, and MY words which I have put in thy 
mouth shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouths 
of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith 
THE LORD, from henceforth and for ever. The abundance of 
the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles 
shall come unto thee. For the nations and kingdom that will 
not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly 
wasted. The sons of them that afflicted thee shall come bend- 
ing unto thee: and all they that despised thee shall bow them- 
selves down at the soles of thy feet. And they shall call thee 
The City of THE LORD, the Zion of THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL. 
Thy people also shall be all righteous. They shall inherit the 
land for ever, the branch of MY planting, the work of MY 
hands, that I may be glorified. A little one shall become a 
thousand, and a small one a strong nation. I THE LORD will 
hasten it in His time. Ye shall be named the priests of THE 
LORD. Men shall call you the ministers of OUR GOD. Ye shall 
eat the riches of the Gentiles and in their glory shall yet boast 
yourselves. Their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, 
and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall 
acknowledge them, that they are the seed which THE LORD 
hath blessed. I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusa- 
lem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night. Ye that 
make mention of THE LORD, keep not silence. And give HIM 
no rest, till HE establish, and till HE make Jerusalem a praise 
in the earth. THE LORD hath sworn by His right hand, and by 



THAT JEW! 27 

the arm of Hi? strength. * * * Behold, THE LORD hath 
proclaimed to the end of the world, say ye to the daughter of 
Zion, behold, thy salvation cometh ! Rejoice ye with Jerusa- 
lem and be glad with her, for thus saith THE LORD. Behold, I 
will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gen- 
tiles like a flowing stream : as one whom his mother comfort - 
eth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in 
Jerusalem. For as the new heavens and the new earth which 
I will make shall remain before ME, saith THE LORD, so shall 
your seed and your name remain. At that time they shall 
call Jerusalem the throne of THE LORD; in those days the 
house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel. Lo, the 
days come, saith THE LORD, that I will bring again the captivity 
of MY people, Israel and Judah, saith THE LORD. And I will 
cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, 
and they shall possess it. Therefore fear thou not, O MY servant 
Jacob, saith THE LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel, for Lo, 
I will save thee from afar and thy seed from the land of their 
captivity. And Jacob shall return, and shall be at rest, and be 
quiet, and none shall make him afraid, for I am with thee, 
saith THE LORD, to save thee. And out of them shall proceed 
thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry; and I 
will multiply them, and they shall not be small. Yea, I have 
loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving 
kindness have I drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou 
shall be built, O virgin daughter of Israel: thou shalt again 
be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances 
of them that make merry. Hear the word of THE LORD, O ye 
nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, HE that 
scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd 
doth his flock. Therefore they shall come, and sing in the 
height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of THE 
LORD, for wheat and for wine, and for oil and for the young 
of the flock and for the herd: and their souls shall be as 
watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. 
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men 
and old together, for I will turn their mourning into joy, and 
I will comfort them and make them rejoice from their sorrow. 
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of 



28 THAT JEW! 

Israel. After these days, saith THE LORD, I will put MY law 
in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be 
their GOD, and they shall be MY people. And they shall teach 
no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, 
saying Know THE LORD, for they shall all know me, from the 
least of them unto the greatest of them, saith THE LORD: for I 
will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sin no 
more. Thus saith THE LORD which giveth the sun for a light 
by day, the ordinances of the moon and of the stars by night 
which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar. THE 
LORD OF HOSTS is His name. If those ordinances depart from 
before ME, saith THE LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall 
cease from being a nation before me for ever. Thus saith THE 
LORD. If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations 
of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the 
seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith THE LORD. I 
will make an everlasting covenant with them, and I will not 
turn away from them. I will put my fear in their hearts, that 
they shall not depart from ME. Yea, I will rejoice over them 
to do them good, assuredly with MY whole heart and with MY 
whole mind. 

"For thus saith the Lord, like as I have brought all this 
great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the 
good that I have promised them. I will cleanse them from 
all their iniquity. And it shall be to ME a name of joy, a 
praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth which 
shall hear all the good that I do unto them. As the hosts of 
heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea meas- 
ured, so will I multiply the seed of David, MY servant, and 
the Levites that minister unto me." 

All the prophecies so far quoted were uttered before the 
first destruction of Jerusalem. 

After carefully reading the promises of JEHOVAH, both to 
His people Israel and to their land, surely no professing Chris- 
tian can put aside the matter with indifference, as a thing to be 
thought of lightly, and as of no importance to them person- 
ally. Surely where the Word of GOD speaks so plainly, show- 
ing how near to the heart and thought of JEHOVAH is Israel, 
Christians cannot with impunity refuse to pray for the peace 



THAT JEW! 29 

of Jerusalem. And then the promise, "They shall prosper that 
love thee." If heretofore, O reader, you have thought of these 
words as addressed to the church, for your soul's sake and 
your own future peace, read over the context fore and after, 
and you will see how absurd to think the church mentioned in 
the passages. 

I shall now quote some prophecies uttered after the carry- 
ing away captive of Israel, and finally of Judah and his com- 
panions. 

"But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dis- 
mayed, O Israel, for behold I will save thee from afar off, 
and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall 
return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him 
afraid. * * * I will not make a full end of thee, but correct 
thee in measure. For I will take you from among the heathen 
and gather you out of all countries and I will bring you into 
your own land. A new heart also will I give you, and a new 
spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony 
heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 
And I will put MY spirit within you, and cause you to walk in 
my statutes, and ye shall keep MY judgments and do them. 
Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand 
of Ephraim, and make them with him, even with the stick of 
Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in 
MINE hand. I will gather them on every side, and I will make 
them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel, and 
ONE KING shall reign over them all, and they shall be no more 
two nations; neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms 
any more at all. And they shall dwell in the land that I have 
given unto Jacob, MY servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; 
and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, 
and their children's children, forever: and MY servant David 
shall be their prince forever. Moreover, I will make a covenant 
of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with 
them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set 
MY sanctuary in the midst of them forevermore. MY tabernacle 
also shall be with them. Yea, I will be their GOD, and they 
shall be MY people, when I have brought them again from the 
people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and have 



30 THAT JEW! 

left none of them any more. Neither will I hide MY face any 
more from them: for I have poured out MY spirit upon the 
house of Israel, saith THE LORD GOD." 

And the glory of THE LORD came into the house by the way 
of the gate whose prospect is towards the east. So the spirit 
took me up and brought me to the inner court and behold, the 
glory of THE LORD filled the house. And HE said unto me, son 
of man, the place of MY throne, and the place of the soles of 
MY feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of 
Israel forever. 

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and supplication 
and they shall look upon ME whom they have pierced. I will 
gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle. Then shall THE 
LORD go forth and fight against those nations, and His feet 
shall stand that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is be- 
fore Jerusalem on the east. THE LORD shall be king over all 
the earth. 

Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant 
unto THE LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. 
For I am THE LORD; I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob 
are not consumed.

CHAPTER IV. 

GOD'S THOUGHTS TOWARD THE LAND. 

It is most interesting to read of GOD'S thoughts in regard to 
Palestine, to note how HE watches over it, and what are His 
future intentions towards this spot of earth more highly 
favored than any other spot on the entire globe. 

That is a most remarkable statement uttered by Moses: "A 
land which the Lord thy God careth for. The eyes of the Lord 
thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year 
even unto the end of the year" Of no other land could it be 
said what THE LORD said of this place: "Defile not therefore 
the land which ye shall inhabit, WHEREIN i DWELL; for I THE 
LORD dwell among the children of Israel." 

And one particular place of Palestine was blest even more 
than the rest: "But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in 
the land which the Lord your God giveth you to inherit, then 
there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose to 
cause His name to dwell there." We read when Solomon built 
the Temple: "And it came to pass when the priests were come 
out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the 
Lord, so that the priests could not stand to minister because 
of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of 
the Lord." 

When Israel, in spite of all His tender care and loving kind- 
ness, sinned against HIM and polluted His land, one can readily 
see on reading the Narrative how loath THE LORD was to leave 
the House: 

"And the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the 
heaven and brought me in the visions of GOD to Jerusalem, to 
the door of the inner gate that looketh towards the north where 
was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to 
jealousy. And, behold the glory of the GOD of Israel was there." 

Then we read of the going out of the house: "Now the cher- 
ubims stood on the right side of the house * * * and the 



32 THAT JEW! 

cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the LORD went 
up from the cherub over the threshold of the house. * * * 
Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of 
the house, and stood over cherubims, and the cherubims lifted 
up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight 
* * * and the glory of the GOD of Israel was over them 
above." And then comes the terrible words: "I will bring a 
sword upon you, saith the LORD GOD." But harken to the words 
that GOD speaks immediately afterwards, before HE leaves the 
Temple, His tender love breaks forth a father who must chas- 
tise his child, and yet before the rod is laid on the child's back, 
HE comforts him. How graciously pitiful is our GOD. Listen: 
"Thus saith THE LORD GOD: Although I have cast them far 
off among the heathen and although I have scattered them 
among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary 
in the countries where they will come. Therefore say, Thus 
saith the LORD GOD: I will even gather you from the people 
and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scat- 
tered and I will give you the Land of Israel * * * and they 
shall be my people and I will be their God." 

With these words of love : 'Then did the cherubims lift up 
their wings * * * and the glory of the GOD of Israel was over 
them above. And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst 
of the city and stood upon the mountain which is on the east 
side of the city." The mountain on the east side was Olivet. 
This was immediately before the first Temple and the first 
city of Jerusalem were destroyed. 

This sorrowing departure brings vividly to the eye another 
event which took place six hundred years afterwards: "And 
when He was come near, He beheld the City, and wept over it." 
And listen to this heart wail : "O Jerusalem ! Jerusalem ! how 
often would I have gathered thy children together even as a 
hen gathereth her chickens under her wings and ye would not! 
Behold your House is left unto you desolate!" And again 
harken to the words of a compassionate Love: "For I say unto 
you, ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed 
is He that cometh in the name of the Lord !" 

So we see HE will come again, and they shall welcome HIM 
with praise and thanksgiving. 



THAT JEW! 33 

This event took place but a little time before the destruction 
of the second Temple and the second city of Jerusalem. 

And now what are GOD'S promises towards the city and 
the land? 

Though the cloud of JEHOVAH is not now in Jerusalem HE 
has His watchers there. Listen: "I have set watchmen upon 
thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day 
nor night : Ye that make mention of the Lord keep not silence 
and give Him no rest, till He establish and till He make Jerusa- 
lem a praise on the earth. The Lord hath sworn by His right 
hand, and by the arm of His strength, Surely I will no more 
give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies : and the sons of the 
strangers shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast 
labored: But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise 
the Lord; and they that have brought it together shall drink it 
in the courts of my holiness. Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed 
unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, 
Behold, thy Salvation cometh : behold, His reward is with Him, 
and His work before Him. And they shall call them The Holy 
People, the Redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, 
sought out, a city not forsaken." "Awake, Awake: put on thy 
strength, O Zion, put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, 
the Holy City. * * * The Lord shall bring again Zion. 
* * * Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of 
Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted His people, He hath 
redeemed Jerusalem. Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith 
your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her 
that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. 
And the Ransomed of The Lord shall return, and come to Zion 
with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads; they shall 
obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. 
And it shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain 
of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the 
mountains * * * and all nations shall flow unto it. And 
many people shall go and say, Come ye and let us go up to the 
mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob * * * 
for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the 
Lord from Jerusalem. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, 
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid: and the calf and 



34 THAT JEW! 

the young lion, and the fatling together and a little child shall 
lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed: and their 
young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat 
straw like the ox, and the sucking child shall play on the hole 
of the asp, and the weaned child put his hand on the adder's 
den. For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob and will yet choose 
Israel and set them in their own land. For the people shall 
dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. Then shall He give the rain of 
thy seed that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of 
the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous : 
and in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures. The 
oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall 
eat savory provender which hath been winnowed with the shovel 
and with the fan. And there shall be up on every high moun- 
tain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters. 
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the 
sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light ot 
seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of 
His people and healeth the stroke of their wound. And my 
people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwell- 
ings, and in quiet resting places. And the sons of the strangers 
shall build up thy walls, and their Kings shall minister unto 
thee. Therefore thy gates shall be open continually: they shall 
not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the 
forces of the Gentiles. * * * The glory of Lebanon shall 
come to thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, 
to beautify the place of my sanctuary: and I will make the 
place of my feet glorious. And they shall build the old wastes, 
they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair 
the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. For brass 
I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood 
brass, and for stones iron. And strangers shall stand and feed 
your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen 
and your vine dressers. Behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing 
and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem and joy 
in My people. And they shall build houses and inhabit them: 
and they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them. They 
shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and 
another eat; for as the days of a tree are the days of my people 



THAT JEW! 35 

and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They 
shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for trouble: and it shall 
come to pass, that before they call, I will answer : and while 
they are yet speaking I shall hear. And they shall dwell in 
Judah itself, and in the cities thereof together, husbandmen, 
and they that go forth with flocks. Behold the days shall come 
saith the Lord that I will sow the house of Israel and the 
house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of 
beasts. Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither 
I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great 
wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will 
cause them to dwell safely: yea, I will rejoice over them to do 
them good and I will plant them in this land assuredly with 
my whole heart, and with my whole soul. Thus saith the Lord : 
Again there shall be heard in this place, the voice of joy, and 
the voice of gladness, and the voice of the bridegroom, and 
the voice of the bride, and the voice of them that shall say, 
Praise the Lord of Hosts: for the Lord is good: for His mercy 
endureth forever. In the cities of the mountains, in the cities 
of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of 
Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities 
of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of Him 
that telleth them, saith the Lord. And it shall come to pass in 
that day * * * saith the Lord I will hear the heavens, and 
they shall hear the earth: and the earth shall hear the corn, 
and the wine, and the oil. Fear not, O Land; be glad and 
rejoice; for the Lord will do great things. Be not afraid ye 
beasts of the field ! for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, 
for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree, and the vine do yield 
their strength. He hath given you the former rain moderately, 
and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former 
rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors 
shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine 
and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust 
hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palm 
worm, my great army that I sent among you. And ye shall 
eat in plenty and be satisfied. So shall ye know that I am the 
Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then 
shall Jerusalem be holy. And it shall come to pass in that day, 



36 THAT JEW! 

that the mountains shall drop new wine, and the hills shall flow 
with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with water and 
a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord and shall 
water the valley of Shittim. Judah shall dwell forever, and 
Jerusalem from generation to generation. I will bring them 
out from the people and gather them from the countries, and 
will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the 
mountain of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places 
of the country. I will feed them in a good pasture and upon 
the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be. They shall 
dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. And I 
will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. And 
the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall 
yield her increase and they shall be safe in their land. Ye 
shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. I will 
multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field. I 
will cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be 
builded. And the desolate land shall be tilled whereas it lay 
desolate in the sight of all that passed by. And they shall say, 
this land 'that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; 
and the waste and desolate cities are become fenced and are 
inhabited * * * so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks 
of men. They shall dwell in the land that I have given unto 
Jacob my servant: and they shall dwell therein, even they, and 
their children forever. My Tabernacle also shall be with them. 
And the name of the city from that day shall be Jehovah 
Shammah The Lord is there. Behold the days shall come, 
saith the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, 
and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed, and the moun- 
tain shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. And 
I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and they 
shall build the waste cities and inhabit them: and they shall 
plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof: they shall also 
make gardens and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them 
upon their land and they shall no more be pulled up out of 
their land which I have given them, saith the Lord Thy God. 
Upon Mount Zion shall be deliverance and there shall be 
holiness; and the house of Jacob shall posssess their possessions. 
"But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain 



THAT JEW! 37 

of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the 
mountain: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word 
of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He shall judge among many 
people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and 
their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword 
against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But 
they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree: 
and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of 
Hosts hath spoken it. The Lord shall reign over them in 
Mount Zion from thenceforth, even for ever. Jerusalem shall 
be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men 
and cattle therein. Sing and rejoice, O Daughter of Zion: for, 
lo, I come and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the 
Lord. The Lord shall inherit Judah His portion in the Holy 
Land and shall choose Jerusalem again. Thus saith The Lord : 
I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusa- 
lem: And Jerusalem shall be called a City of Truth: and the 
mountain of the Lord of Hosts, the Holy Mountain. Thus 
saith the Lord of Hosts: There shall yet old men and old 
women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with 
his staff in his hand for very age. And the streets of the 
city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. 
Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the 
Lord of Hosts in Jerusalem and to pray before the Lord. Thus 
saith the Lord of Hosts: In those days it shall come to pass 
that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, 
even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, 
we will go with you : for we have heard that God is with you. 
And it shall come to pass that every one that is left of all 
nations which came up against Jerusalem shall even go up from 
year to year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, and to 
keep the feast of Tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will 
not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to 
worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, even upon them shall be 
no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, 
that have no rain, there shall be the plague, wherewith the 
Lord will smite the nations that come not up to keep the feast 
of Tabernacle." 

(This plague is indeed a terrible one, we read: "Their flesh 



38 THAT JEW! 

shall consume away while they stand upon their ieet, and their 
eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall 
consume away in their mouth.") 

"In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holi- 
ness unto the Lord; and the pots in the Lord's House shall be 
like the bowls before the altar. Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and 
in Judah shall be holiness to the Lord. Then shall the offerings 
of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the 
former days, and as in former years. And all nations shall call 
you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome Land, saith the Lord 
of Hosts." 

From the portions just read one can see GOD'S purposes for 
the future of His Land Palestine and let it be carefully noted 
that man's work in the return of the Jews to the Land is entirely 
ignored. It shows plainly the Zionist movement has no share 
in GOD'S thoughts. The "I will!" of JEHOVAH runs in every 
line, in every promise. GOD is everything man only the object 
of His blessing. 



THAT JEW! 39 



CHAPTER V. 

AS TO THE RETURN. 

In reading the Scriptures carefully one must discern that in 
the near future there are two different returns of the Jews to 
Palestine. 

The first return that of part of the nation in unbelief still 
rejecting the Messiah. 

The last and final return that of the entire nation from every 
place under heaven, no matter where scattered, and that IMME- 
DIATELY AFTER THE VISIBLE RETURN OF THE 
LORD JESUS CHRIST ON MOUNT OLIVET. 

Of the first return, how accomplished, and when, one must 
not be dogmatic. While the Scriptures are clear as to the 
return in unbelief it fixes (as far as can now be seen) no date, 
nor does it record the means used to accomplish that return. 

It may be in the near future that THE HOLY SPIRIT will give 
grace to some keen searcher of The Word so as to enable him 
to compute the times of the end for no doubt that information 
is in The Word and will be revealed in GOD'S good time but 
not before. It therefore would be most unbecoming to the 
believer at the present time to dare to map out the means and 
ways by which Israel in unbelief will be returned to the Land 
of their fathers. 

As to the second return one has firm foundation under his 
feet, the Scriptures are very explicit on that final return of all 
Israel and never more shall they be driven from that blessed 
Land. 

At present time there are more Jews in Palestine than at 
any period since the Roman legions stamped out their national 
life. More Jews in Jerusalem than in any period since Titus' 
battering rams leveled down its walls, and the unknown soldier's 
torch put fire to the Temple, destroying the beautiful house 
whose porches oft times sheltered the head of the GOD-MAN 
THE REJECTED KING OF THE JEWS. 



40 THAT JEW! 

Several successful colonies are scattered here and there in 
the Land; the orange, olive and fruit trees planted, the grape 
trellised and pruned, the wheat sown and reaped, blessed by a 
new thing in the land "the early and latter rains" so long held 
back from the forsaken land. Jerusalem's streets resound with 
the tramp of 20,000 of her sons and daughters she is full, and 
has flowed over her walls, until a new city is springing up 
around about her. The railroad has come to her gates from the 
sea coast, and flashes its rails on towards the City of Damascus 
and next, perchance, to Babylon! 

The Germans have received concessions from the Sultan, and 
in ten years from now Jerusalem and Babylon, and the port 
of entry at the Persian Gulf, will be knit together by steel 
bands and one may soon travel in a few hours a journey that 
took weeks to accomplish when Solomon ruled in his glory 
the greatest of all the kings of the earth in his time. 

And this Zionist movement will hardly die. If it should it 
will soon be replaced by another more determined movement 
that will most surely be the means of taking back part of the 
people "scattered and pealed" to the home of their forefathers. 

With their return there will be an enormous amount of 
capital poured into the coffers of that land. The speculators 
will be there, the agents of the rich Jews (who will still live in 
splendor in the various capitals of the world) will be there 
the Gentile and the Jew together will give plenty of money to 
improve the land. Palestine was once the highway of the na- 
tions for trade and barter and no doubt will be again. The 
development of the Euphrates Valley will quicken the pulse of 
commerce. The time is near at hand when Babylon will awake 
and the world be astonished at the marvelous harvests gathered 
from the Euphrates Valley, of wheat, and corn, and wine, and 
olives, and all fruits that the heart lusteth after. The develop- 
ment of the Euphrates Valley will fill the to-be-built cities of 
Palestine with the hum of machinery will fill them with men 
and women, and boys and girls. We shall see Jerusalem become 
a modern city; we shall behold a stately Temple, and again 
shall a splendid ritual, with the rarest of music, the grandest 
of singing, dazzle the gazer's eyes, as he beholds the sacrificed 
lamb on the altar both at morning and eventide. It will be a 



THAT JEW! 41 

magnificent structure and will rival the glory of Solomon's, for 
not a rich nor poor Jew on the face of the earth but will be 
only too glad, too overjoyed, to cast his mite into the treasury 
of that building. And such a temple, and such a ritual will 
bring people from all over the world Gentiles to pay their 
tribute of curiosity at that shrine and no doubt that the sub* 
scription list to the building will have tens of thousands of 
Gentile names, and some fabulous amounts. 

For the Gentiles at large will take no heed of the words of 
GOD uttered some twenty-five hundred years ago against this 
very building : "Thus saith the Lord : where is the house that 
ye build unto me? He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; 
he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that 
offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that 
burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen 
their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations." 

But poor Israel, and the still more blinded Gentiles, even 
so-called Christians, will rejoice, and be glad, and be merry, and 
dream beautiful dreams of a golden future. 

And Israel blest in the fields, and blest and increased in the 
stores, and in the counting houses, by the wild schemes, and 
rush of the speculator's gold, by the tide of commerce that will 
stream through the Euphrates Valley from the Orient to the 
cities of the Occident, leaving a tribute in the hands of the 
Jewish brokers and merchants in Jerusalem, will dream that 
their God has at least returned to them, and will be merciful 
both to the Land and to His people. 

They will be disturbed by certain fellows only a mingling 
of Jews and Gentiles who will persist in telling them of dark 
days in the near future for their persistent rejection of JESUS 
CHRIST. 

No doubt but the heart of Israel will be glad, and dream 
that only a golden future is before them. And pride will fill 
the heart and brain ; and the cry will be : "The bricks are fallen 
down, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamores are 
cut down, but we will change them into cedars." "They have 
been replenished from the East, and are sooth-sayers like the 
Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of 
strangers. Their land is also full of silver and gold, neither 



42 THAT JEW! 

is there any end of their treasures: their land is also full of 
horses, neither is there any end of their chariots." 

Israel will be prouder than ever; their hearts and brains will 
be filled with the most vaunting ambitions; they will grow 
domineering, haughty and conceited. 

They will grow very tolerant of religious views. They will 
prate much of "The Brotherhood of Man the Fatherhood of 
God"; every "ism" will be welcomed except the story of the 
Cross as a Remedy for Sin. By this time the higher critics 
will have full sway in all the so-called Protestant lands. The 
colleges are now full of them casting discredit on the Old 
Testament soon to follow it up with hints and innuendoes 
against the credibility of Christ, and His Apostles; soon every 
pulpit in the cities will be filled by their hellish spawn, and the 
Christ preached "a perfect man," "the Master," "the Great 
Example," the "Highest of Created Beings" but not divine. 
Such a view as this will not be obnoxious to the Jews, who 
will grow proud of this Great Jewish Teacher, but as to these 
fellows who will persist in making the Noble Christ divine, away 
with such fellows from the earth! 

To the Jew it will be a bright and happy world rosy-clad 
the future. They have at last found a home, a rest, a peace, a 
plenty; they will become intoxicated with their happiness. 

And now let us read as to how THE LORD regards this re- 
turned people: 

"Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because ye are all 
become dross, behold, therefore, I will gather you into the midst 
of Jerusalem. 

"As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and 
tin, will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will 
leave you there, and melt you. 

"Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of 
my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof. 

"As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye 
be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the 
Lord have poured out my fury upon you. 

"And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith THE 
LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third 
shall be left therein. 



THAT JEW! 43 

"And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will 
refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is 
tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will 
say, it is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God." 

To all who believe in THE LORD JESUS CHRIST trusting in 
His death and in His righteousness for salvation the above 
words will be all sufficient to keep them from doing aught, by 
word of mouth, by written words, by helping hand, either by 
influence or gold, to help on this returning of the Jews in unbe- 
lief to the Land of their Fathers. A true Christian should be 
a praying spectator, watching every movement with the keenest 
scrutiny but never for one moment aiding or abetting the 
First Return. Hands off! Touch not, handle not, neither aid 
by voice, pen, nor money, as GOD is permitting them to return 
in unbelief a curse is yet upon them the awful curse they 
desired on their own heads has never been removed "His 
Blood be upon us and our children!" Christians can only pray 
for the peace of Jerusalem but should leave the manner of 
the return in GOD'S hands. HE, in His own good time, will 
permit the return; HE will remove every obstacle from their 
pathand no nation, nor peoples can hinder when GOD'S hour 
has come. 

And neither is it the Christian's duty to hinder them in any 
shape or form. Let them alone. Our whole duty is to tell them 
of a Redeemer and forget not to tell them of THE COMING 
REDEEMER. It is quite useless to tell the Jews a half Gospel 
and, at best, the preaching nowadays is but proclaiming a half 
Gospel. Redemption for the Body, for the Earth, for the Soul 
is the whole of the glad tidings but, alas, only a redemption 
of the soul is preached; therefore GOD cannot fully bless such 
words. Shortly shall arise a body of preachers and teachers 
who will not be afraid to tell of THE FULL GOSPEL to preach 
of the : 

Redemption of The Soul from Sin, 

Redemption of The Body from the Grave, 

Redemption of The Earth from the hands of Satan. 

But with the return of the Jews will come the building of 
the Temple. A magnificent house built quickly with a lavish- 
ness of wealth that will dazzle humanity. 



44 THAT JEW! 

And surely a thrill of excitement will sweep over all the 
world, when the day comes to commence the sacrifices, to light 
the fire on the altar; and after an absence of two thousand years 
to see again ascending to the sky the smoke of the morning and 
evening sacrifices. 

Such an event, it may be supposed, will either be treated 
with much indifference by the so-called Christian Church, or 
with a protest. But by the world it will be treated as a national 
event, that will draw the eyes of the nations and focus them 
to one spot. Perchance the rich of the earth will be attracted 
there from all of the principal cities of the world perchance 
excursions from every nation will be attempted; and will fill 
Jerusalem with a crowd of curiosity hunters in numbers ex- 
ceeding the palmiest days of Solomon. 

And may we hint at what may be that Satan may attempt 
at that time to attract the eyes of the world to His Masterpiece. 
At the dedication of Solomon's Temple "The cloud came down 
and filled the house." Now there may be raised the question 
where shall come the fire to kindle the wood of the first sacrifice 
the question of profane fire may loom up in the minds of the 
strictly orthodox Jews, and assume such proportions as to 
trouble and annoy them. 

Then may we suppose that at that time a certain Prince of 
Babylon the man more connected with the rebuilding of 
Babylon than any other will have been chosen by the leaders 
of Israel as their best friend, whose friendship will be best 
suited to afford a bulwark against the envy of many nations 
who will still have their old hatred of the Jews. Now we are 
told in the Scriptures that the Prince of Babylon is to make 
a Covenant of seven years with the Jews, to be the Protector 
of them, and of the Holy Land; what then if this same day 
which will see the beginning of Jewish sacrifice after a lapse 
of two thousand years, will also be the day of the ratification of 
this same Covenant. Then suppose when the moment for the 
lighting of the sacrificial fire should come, that in the presence 
of a million or more spectators suppose this Prince should 
come forward and by the lifting up of his hands bring fire 
down from the clear sky to alight on the altar devouring the 
wood and the meat sacrifice what would be the result? It 



THAT JEW! 45 

would lead some of the Jews and Gentiles to believe that the 
Prince of Babylon was indeed divine; and would be the com- 
mencement of Satanic worship that will surely spread over the 
limits of the old Roman earth if it does not lap over and find 
believers and followers in every nation under heaven. 

Far be it from us to dogmatize, but it is rather suggestive 
to know, that the bringing down of fire from heaven is to be 
one of the miracles performed by Antichrist to deceive human 
kind. 



46 THAT JEW! 

CHAPTER VI. 

THE IMPERIAL CITY OF ANTICHRIST. 

Commerce which GOD intended to be a blessing has by the 
manipulation of Satan become a curse to humanity. Commerce 
has become a breaker of the entire decalogue. Commerce under 
Satan has become a Godless thing a despiser of all restraint, 
divine and natural, and is rapidly growing Satanic in its aims 
and ends. Every civilized government upon the face of the 
earth has become subservient to commerce and commercial 
supremacy, the supreme end of the battlings between the nations. 
Gain, and the getting of gain, has become the paramount object 
of all the Christian nations. In the interest of commerce and 
to extend "their sphere of influence," the so-called Christian 
nations have invaded the heathen kingdoms of the earth with 
fire and sword and when they have conquered have presented 
to them bottles of gin and brandy and beer to tempt, betray, 
and debase them. We have sent them missionaries, to be sure, 
for "with fire and sword we have made a pathway for the Lord" 
and no doubt He who ruleth the nations permits the Christian 
nations to punish the heathen for their sins; GOD permits where 
HE does not will. It was not to carry out the will of THE LORD 
but for the furtherance of selfish ends that powder and ball 
swept aside the primitive weapons of the helpless heathen, and 
made the Christian powers the masters of the Orient. GOD'S 
people, to be sure, seized the opportunity thus afforded to pro- 
claim the good news, but it was not for the publication of the 
good news the battles were fought. 

The Word of GOD is very plain the words most unmistak- 
able, in which HE declares that HE will punish the nations of 
the earth for their wickedness. GOD'S eyes are watching the 
so-called Christian nations. HE knows of their greed that looks 
upon the shedding of blood as a very little thing. But most 
assuredly HE will require at the hand of each nation the heathen 
brother's blood which they have shed. JEHOVAH'S justice never 
slumbers and the nations cannot escape the penalty of their 
greed. 



THAT JEW! 47 

The word of GOD is very clear cut as to the trend of future 
wickedness. The nations are to-day digging up the graveyard 
of what was once the greatest of Oriental cities once the capital 
city of the world. The Land of Shinar has already heard the 
blowing of the trumpet which will awaken the New Babylon 
to a wonderful life. Satan has vast designs in his brain 
though often baffled in past ages but the time seems rapidly 
approaching when GOD will permit Satan to develop the mighty 
plans that will awaken the Euphrates Valley to new life, and 
make it the Paradise of the Earth. Men have ever sighed for 
the lost Eden, and Satan will make an Eden for the unregen- 
erate man to woo, and win, and entice, and charm his soul 
so that he will dream (poor fool) that Babylon is indeed "the 
Gate to God" a God that the unregenerated man can worship, 
and love, and enjoy. 

Babylon in the Euphrates Valley will shortly be rebuilt. Per- 
chance the Antichrist may not lay the foundation, none can 
tell but when he becomes the Prince of Babylon he will make 
it by vast munificence the glory of the earth. Here commerce 
will come to dwell in its final home. Her merchantment shall 
become the great ones of the earth. Here trade will center; it 
will from its glittering and pompous palaces decide the price 
of every article of commerce the wide world round. The glory 
of London and New York will pale before the influence of this 
Oriental city Babylon's exchange will be the clearing house 
of the world. 

It will be the Mecca of the rich and poor alike. The mighty 
Prince of Babylon will frame laws that will be the wonder of 
the world. It will be the treasure house of the world, where 
no man need starve. Commerce will make gold plenty, so that 
corn, and meat, and wine, shall be in abundance. Human art 
here shall blossom to a prime. The builders, the sculptors, the 
painters will here reap the grandest harvest ever conceived by 
human brain. Music and drama shall reach the apex of their 
desires. The world shall be astonished at its magnificent glory 
and beauty. Mirth and laughter and merry dance shall not 
cease night or day in Babylon. And this Prince of Babylon 
who comes to the world as its true Saviour will be inspired by 



48 THAT JEW! 

Satan a Satanic man whose intellect shall confound and put 
to shame the earth wisdom of the ages. 

No use to sneer, reader, the Word of JEHOVAH records this 
Personage on many pages of The Book. It may seem absurd 
to think for an instant in this enlightened age, that idolatry 
will be the final outcome of the scientific age, that the image of 
a man will be worshipped by the most civilized nations of the 
world yet so says JEHOVAH who lieth not and therefore, in 
spite of your laughter and sneers it will be so. Not only that 
but at last the inhabitants of the Old Roman earth will worship 
Satan Hail Him as the Harbinger of Light. 

It would seem that Antichrist will first appear as the perfect 
man, in all things the man without a peer his intellect the 
most colossal endowed seemingly with the attributes of a 
God. At first a man of peace, "the words of his mouth sweeter 
than honey," his pleasure to befriend the poor, the needy; the 
man that humanity has hoped for and prayed to see. 

The Deliverer from superstition the greatest scholar states- 
man, orator, poet, musician, inventor the most scientific man 
the world has ever seen! He goes to Jerusalem, with the 
blessings of humanity on his head. The Peaceful Prince of 
Babylon will have only fair sweet words to say. The Seven 
Years' Covenant signed and sealed between the returned 
Israelites and himself, he will receive an ovation at Jerusalem 
the like of which for magnificence the world has never seen. 
He returns to Babylon with the prayers of Israel on his head 
and the best wishes of their hearts. Now surely may the Jews 
rest every man under his vine and fig tree and none make 
them afraid. Ah, is not He indeed the Messiah? 

But Satan has met the Prince of Babylon, and not in vain 
has the offer been made of "all the kingdoms of the World and 
the glory of them." The Prince of Babylon accepts, and gladly 
falls down, and worships Lucifer. 

And here is a mystery that at present we cannot solve details 
are missing we dare not be dogmatic. Men who have studied 
and prayed for light on this subject draw inferences from 
various hints scattered through The Book but none dares to 
speak with authority. It would seem as if the Prince of 
Babylon is to be slain, how, or when, not recorded yet that 



THAT JEW! 49 

body does not see corruption, but some lost spirit comes from 
Hades, enters in and makes it his home. One may readily see 
an aping of the Resurrection of THE LORD CHRIST. For no 
doubt there is to be an imitation of the Blessed Trinity by a 
Satanic Trinity. 

THE FATHER Aped by Satan. 

THE SON Aped by Antichrist. 

THE SPIRIT Aped by the False Prophet. 

Certain points are positive without dispute. The word is 
very plain and we dare not cast the warning aside. The Anti- 
christ, a person, it may be a lost spirit, yet in human form, shall 
honor, with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and 
pleasant things, "a strange God whom he shall acknowledge and 
increase with glory." And this God will give Antichrist "his 
power, and his seat and great authority." "And all the world 
shall wonder after the beast, and they worshipped the Dragon 
(Satan) which gave power unto the beast. And they wor- 
shipped the beast, and power was given him over all kindreds, 
and tongues and nations: And all that dwell upon the earth 
(the old Roman Empire) shall worship him. The False 
Prophet doeth great wonders so that he maketh fire come down 
from heaven on earth in sight of man and deceiveth them that 
dwell on the earth by miracles which he had power to do in 
sight of the beast: saying to them that dwell on the earth that 
they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound 
by a sword and did live (the beast that was, and is not, and 
shall ascend out of the bottomless pit). And he had power 
to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the 
beast should both speak and cause that as many as would not 
worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth 
all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bound, to 
receive a mark in their right hands, or in their foreheads: 
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark 
or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." 

So then we see that in the future City of Babylon Antichrist 
will be worshipped as God, and Antichrist will worship Satan. 

And so the Jews will be again in the toils of Satan and for 
three years and one-half God will give Antichrist control over 
the nations and the Jews. 



50 THAT JEW! 



CHAPTER VII. 

THE TWO WITNESSES. 

It may well be supposed that the people of the Land more 
especially the inhabitants of Jerusalem were fully warned of 
the consequences of acknowledging the Godship of the Prince 
of Babylon. Suppose then, that suddenly one morning at 
Jerusalem in the Temple enclosure, two men stood men of 
such appearance and character as to arrest the attention of the 
Jews who were faithful enough each morning "to go up to the 
Temple to pray." They were two men arrayed in long flowing 
garments of sackcloth of sturdy and commanding height, faces 
that strangely partook of the vigor of youth yet with the 
appearance of bordering en middle age. One in looks older 
than the other. The younger, a man in full prime of life, with 
all the vim and dash of a fearless son of the desert the older, 
a man of calm, majestic presence, yet with a flash of the eye 
which told that age had not as yet laid its hand to chill a 
single faculty either of mind or body. These men soon had a 
curious crowd about them, and all gazers questioned: who are 
they and from whence have they come? Quickly the news 
spread from lip to lip, from street to street, from house to house, 
until the concourse of men, women and children blocked the 
approach to the Temple. And then when the officials of both 
Temple and city came to demand of these two silent men who 
they were, all of a sudden fell from their lips words of 
strange import. 

They announced themselves to be messengers from JEHOVAH 
sent by JEHOVAH to the people of Israel to warn them of 
coming wrath and destruction; that this Prince of Babylon, 
who proclaimed himself the Man-God, whose Prophet in his 
presence performed wondrous signs and miracles to deceive the 
people, was coming to Jerusalem to demand of the people 
divine homage. They warned the people that if they received 
him as their Messiah, and gave divine honor, the soul who 



THAT JEW! 51 

bent the knee to his worship, receiving his name on hand or 
forehead, that soul, JEHOVAH would most assuredly cut off from 
His presence both in this life and in that which was to come; 
that GOD'S vengeance would surely send to perdition; that this 
indeed was the commencement of the day of Jacob's trouble; 
that this demon-possessed, devil-inspired man was the deceiver 
spoken of by all the holy prophets, whom THE COMING MESSIAH 
would destroy by the breath of His lips. 

One may well imagine the breathless silence that held the 
listeners and then came such a wild burst of angry fury when 
two-thirds of the listeners hissed out the cries of: 

"Blasphemy! Death to such traitors! Away with such fel- 
lows from the earth!" 

The most daring and angry ones crowded near, murder in 
their eyes, and cries of vengeance on their lips but, perchance, 
the two men, each with staff in hand, swept staff round about 
them, and the crowd shrank back, until there was a small, clear 
circle round them they, the center of a ring of shrieking, 
cursing humanity, who had murder in the soul, in the glare of 
the eye, in the shake of the hand. 

And perchance clear and distinct rang the voices of the two 
men, as if from one man: 

"Stand back, men of Israel! Beware of touching us -the 
touch is certain death!" 

And more daring bigots, with cries of disdain, stepped inside 
the circle the staffs had made aye, with laugh of contempt on 
their lips, and hands stretched out to grasp the men but sud- 
denly wild terror and dismay with a mighty roar of confusion 
the crowd shrank away for, Lo ! when the men opened their 
mouths, as it were a living tongue of flame lit on the un- 
fortunates who would not heed the warning not to touch; 
and then, in an instant, only heaps of ashes lay where once 
stood living men! 

And now perchance the rulers the great and wealthy met 
in haste in the Council Chamber. They had been rudely awak- 
ened from their sleep, after the wine and dainty feast revels of 
the night before. With incredulous wonderment they heard the 
story of the frightened men, but straightway a company of 
guards were sent to bring these two disturbers of the peace to 



52 THAT JEW! 

the Council Chambers. Perchance a jest was on many of these 
great men's tongues, and perchance rebuke for the men who 
ever came with this same wild story. But then another surprise 
for hasty feet came to tell that the guards had also perished 
that only heaps of ashes marked where they had dared to touch 
the terrible men. 

And there were blanched cheeks, for fully one-third of the 
rulers exclaimed: 

"This surely is the finger of JEHOVAH !" 

But the other two-thirds sneered at such; their hearts were 
hardened; this was but some trick, some new scientific discov- 
ery, some subtle explosive, which these two fellows Christians 
without a doubt had invented to terrorize the good friends of 
the Prince of Babylon. Nay, perchance fifty guards would bring 
these dastards to their presence. 

And the rulers waited the time spent in wild bickering the 
majority scowling and flinging bitter taunts at the men who 
dared to call this the finger of GOD. 

And again came men of flying feet, of hasty tread, pale of 
face, and with terror on their lips what a tale ! As had per- 
ished the first guards sent so had miserably perished the 
second ! 

Consternation and the wildest anger prevailed, and perchance 
a stronger guard was sent. 

And again no guards came back, but men with selfsame tale 
a heap of ashes at these strange men's feet. 

And then an awful terror, silence, dread, fell on that com- 
pany of rulers. And, lo, perchance, arose as one man, the third 
of the rulers! 

"Lo, this must be indeed the finger of JEHOVAH ! and is not 
this the selfsame kind of miracle whereby Elijah the Tishbite 
destroyed the messengers of the wicked King Ahaziah Men 
and Brethren! perchance, one of these men is indeed Elijah 
whom JEHOVAH by the last of our Holy Prophets promised to 
send us before the coming of the Great and Dreadful Day of 
the LORD !" 

But such words were drowned by the cries: 

"Traitors! Treason to the Prince of the Covenant! Long 



THAT JEW! 53 

live the Prince of Babylon, and Jehovah confound his traducers 
and enemies." 

And amid this undignified uproar of the rulers perchance 
suddenly walked in the Two Witnesses. 

The amazed rulers sank back silent, and listened as the two 
men stood before them, and declared who they were, and why 
they came. One boldly said, "I am Elijah the Tishbite!" and 
the other, perchance (no man yet dare be dogmatic on this 
point) declared himself to be Moses! 

And in that Council Chamber they told that JEHOVAH had sent 
them to warn, to instruct, to tell of the mighty wonders HE 
would surely perform, to show all men that HE alone was the 
ruler of the earth. Sternly they rebuked Israel for their sins 
and for the greatest of all their sins the rejection of THE 
LORD JESUS CHRIST. They said that now the end of the age 
was at hand; the days of rebellion, sin, and wickedness of both 
Jew and Gentile were about to end ; that THE LORD JESUS CHRIST 
was coming aye, counting from this day in three years and 
one-half His returning feet would stand on Mount Olivet; that 
now in spite of Israel's sins and wickedness, JEHOVAH was ready 
and willing to enter into a covenant of peace with them; that 
this covenant that they had entered into with the wicked King 
of Babylon should be immediately annulled; that this wicked 
Assyrian who was again coming to Jerusalem would compel 
them to enter into a new "Covenant with hell and with death." 
And woe to the soul who accepted such a compact. Therefore, 
let the rulers and people of Israel put away their sins and 
wickedness accept the gracious love of JEHOVAH, and prepare 
their hearts to meet with joy and thanksgiving the coming 
MESSIAH CHRIST! Now who is on the LORD'S side let him 
stand with us and fleeing from the coming wrath join himself 
to those who love the words of JEHOVAH. 

And then a sudden division. Lo, of the rulers, one-third 
sprang forward and stood by the side of the Two Witnesses. 

And the other two-thirds, in their hearts, and wills, and souls 
rejected the testimony of the Two Witnesses. They raved and 
uttered threats of dire vengeance on the heads of these vile 
traitors when the Prince of Babylon should come. And per- 
chance some of the most hardened, reckless and daring did not 



54 THAT JEW! 

hesitate to spring to do a deadly vengeance on the Witnesses 
poor fools only to perish and become a little heap of worth- 
less ashes. And the blinded leaders were surely no laggards to 
wire the Prince of Babylon of these fell traitors, to profess 
anew their loyalty to him, beseeching him to come and with 
his presence blast such fellows from the earth. 

And Jerusalem. What a turmoil a rushing to and fro in 
the city business suspended for, lo, through every street went 
the Two Witnesses, proclaiming the message of JEHOVAH : 
That JEHOVAH CHRIST was coming shortly to crush His enemies 
and to bless those who made their hearts willing and ready to 
receive HIM ; that Gentile supremacy was nearly over ; that 
JEHOVAH indeed was ready to pardon, bless and draw nigh to 
His people; that indeed the Kingdom of Heaven was at hand. 
And woe to the soul who accepted the Prince of Babylon 
as the Messiah woe to whosoever bowed to him the knee, 
accepted his number or his name on their hand or forehead 
that soul would be accursed of JEHOVAH forever and forever! 



THAT JEW! 55 



CHAPTER VIII. 

THE MARK OF THE BEAST. 

Surely Jerusalem was a distracted city. Tumult and bickering 
held high revelry a divided people friend against friend, 
neighbor against neighbor, husband against wife, child against 
parent a time of trouble and despair. Never seemed these Two 
Witnesses to tire their voices were seldom still, the tread of 
their feet was heard on every street, through mart of traders, 
and where households dwelt. They were determined that every 
ear in Jerusalem should hear their message. They proclaimed 
that the hour of decision was close at hand that each listener 
should choose for a master either Antichrist or JEHOVAH CHRIST ; 
that already Antichrist was on his way to Jerusalem, and that his 
coming would strike the hour of doom for all who should 
acknowledge him. No half way measures now men and 
women must swiftly make up their minds. There would be 
no neutral ground it was Satan or JEHOVAH which? 

The dawning of the day of decision at last had come. With 
loud acclamations was Antichrist met at the entrance of the 
city of Jerusalem. In pomp and majesty he came a veritable 
hero, with his guards and attendants doing him divine honors. 
And straightway to the Temple! Perchance it was the hour of 
sacrifice, and on the altar lay the lamb, lo, he dared to step 
forward before the altar, and stand there to receive divine 
honors. His eloquent and subtle prophet thrust aside the priests 
at the altar. Water perchance was poured on the altar to 
quench every spark and vestige of fire so that all might see 
that this prophet had power to bring down fire from heaven in 
sight of all men and burn up the sacrifice. 

And veritably, as the prophet's hands were stretched out to 
the Prince of Babylon, as if entreating him to reveal his God- 
head, fire descended from heaven, the forked tongues burning 
up the wood and flesh upon the altar in the sight of all men. 
Could humanity want more? 



56 THAT JEW! 

And then, perchance, the place around about, the upper air, 
was full of voices, strange weird voices of rejoicing from unseen 
thousands, aye millions, that crowded round the place. Could 
humanity want more? Was not this indeed the God whom 
unseen angel hosts adore? And on their knees in adoration 
fell the multitude, in their hearts believing, and giving him 
divine honors. 

And then the preeminence of blasphemy! This new god 
walked towards the curtained Holy of Holies, rent the gorgeous 
curtains with his impious hands, and entered the place where 
only the high priest came once a year bearing shed blood in his 
hands. Here seated, he proclaimed himself to be the Lord 
God of the Earth, and before him worshipped the thousands 
gathered there. 

It was very noticeable that none who had in their hearts 
harkened to the Two Witnesses v/ere present at this Temple 
meeting. Believing the words of JEHOVAH they kept away with 
fearful and trembling hearts, for scarce a one of this remnant 
but had some relative, some dear one, who, alas, went forth 
that fatal morning with songs of joy on their lips to meet the 
deceiver. 

And, perchance, seated on the Mount of Olives over against 
the city, were the Two Witnesses with a stricken crowd around 
them, watching from a distance the strange doings in the city, 
and listening to the wild acclamations that the wind brought 
to their ears from the Temple Hill. 

This was the day of the Prince of Darkness, and the Two 
Witnesses for the present would stand aside and let evil blossom 
to its baleful prime. 

What a day of revelry in Jerusalem. Music and dancing, and 
feasting on the richest meats and rarest wines. For this Prince 
of Babylon was no solemn, sad-faced God. The merry song, 
the questionable jest, the broad story, the lascivious look, the 
mad desire, the plucking of roses from lips and brow of beauty, 
were not by him forbidden. Nay, did not the naked women 
of his train, garlanded with the rarest flowers, dance before 
him, with happy songs, on the marble floor of the temple before 
the Holy of Holies, where he was seated on a throne of blazing 
jewels? Did they not proclaim him God the Ruler of Heaven 



THAT JEW! 57 

and Earth? Did not this singing and dancing give the wildest 
liberty to the vilest passions of men and women? 

And the city that night was ablaze with lights, and mad with 
the most unbridled riot of the baser passions. Wine flowed 
like water; and woe to the person who joined not in this excess, 
for this new God proclaimed that by the act of feasting, drink- 
ing and liberty they worshipped him in deed and in truth; 
that lasciviousness and abandonment to the most domineering 
of human passions were the highest praises and service they 
could render him. 

Hidden in cellars and caves shrank those who trembled at 
GOD'S Word who believed the words of the Two Witnesses. 

And most of them, perchance on that Mount of Olivet, near 
the messengers of JEHOVAH, crouched all night on the cold, 
chill ground, trembling in frame and heart, watching the bril- 
liant lights, the decorations in every street and house; they 
could see the wild dancers on the Temple floor; and the chill 
night wind bore to their ears the voices, songs and music of that 
mad revel. They sat there in sorrow, in anguish and bitterness 
of heart for those they loved in that mad city. Yet with this 
bitterness came to their hearts, as a refreshing wine, the glorious 
hope which thrilled their souls the coming of their REDEEMER 
AND KING. 

But for the present the Witnesses could give them little 
earthly comfort. They told the stricken men and women that 
this was the hour of patience, the trial of their faith, that neither 
by sword nor fire were they to oppose the Deceiver, that this 
was his day the Day of Satan's supreme authority on earth. 
And then the words of warning Let not one of them again 
enter the city let no affection, duty, nor consideration of any 
kind, human or earthly, lead back, or draw their footsteps to 
these streets, or to their former homes, in Jerusalem. Let their 
feet bear them to the wilds, and desert places, to the caves* and 
fastnesses of the mountains, for in no other way could they be 
saved. Let them flee in faith, trusting in GOD, let no heart fail 
among them for in forsaking this city JEHOVAH would indeed 
be their refuge, and bread and water should not fail them. 

And so with the breaking of the morning light fugitives were 
everywhere, rushing towards the mountains and the lonely 



58 THAT JEW! 

defiles, hiding in ravines and caves, seeking the shelter of deso- 
late places. 

And in the city workshops were wondrous doings for work- 
men, cunning of brain and hand, wrought in gold and precious 
stones until to their eyes flashed a glorious image of the New 
God. And then, with awful pomp and glorious magnificence, 
with all Jerusalem on the housetops, in the open spaces, and tem- 
ple courts, watching with almost unblinking eyes, this image was 
placed on the highest pinnacle of The Temple. Then amid the 
most profound silence, and almost breathless attention, men and 
women heard that Image speak. For lo, this image of gold and 
precious stones had life, was unmistakably endowed with palpi- 
tating life ; and it proclaimed that all should worship it the 
Image of The God for in worshiping the Image they worshipped 
their God. 

And on that day went forth the decree: Every being under 
heaven of all nations, peoples and tongues all should worship 
The Man God. And all both rich and poor, both small and 
great, both freeman and slave, and bondman, should receive a 
mark in their right hands, or in their foreheads : and that no man 
might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of 
The Man God, or the number of His name. 

And suddenly, perchance, across the heavens floated ONE of 
magnificent appearance thundering in a loud voice so that every 
one in the city could hear: 

"If any man worship the beast, and his image, and receive 
his mark in their forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink 
of the wine of the wrath of GOD, which is poured out without 
mixture into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tor- 
mented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy an- 
gels, and in the presence of THE LAMB: and the smoke of 
their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no 
rest day nor night who worship the Beast and his image, and 
wh'o-so-ever receiveth the mark of his name." 

For a little time the hearts of that mighty multitude were 
stricken with fear and a shrinking in brain and heart from the 
worship of this Man God. But the day of Satan had come this 
human multitude was in the toils of this Satanic Trinity. 

Perchance suddenly, from all sides, from the earth beneath 1 , 



THAT JEW! 59 

from the heavens above, came mighty thunderings, the voices of 
unseen millions shouting the praises of this Man God. Men's 
hearts were opened to the unmistakable fact that around them 
were unseen powers, creatures whose voices knew no other theme 
than songs to the praise of The Man God. 

And then, perchance, the hint of one of the students of the 
word became a veritable fact : What if unseen hands uplifted 
the sparkling throne where The Man God was seated! What 
if it were borne aloft by these unseen hands, up, up, above the 
highest pinnacle of the temple, above the image, so that every 
eye in Jerusalem and the surrounding country saw the throne 
of the Man God in the air, and heard the thunders of the voices 
of unseen beings crying out all hail and glory and honor to 
their God, the ruler of the earth and the coming ruler of 
heaven. What if there, suspended in the air, this Man God 
challenged JEHOVAH and His RISEN CHRIST to show their power, 
to crush Him if they dared ! And unseen hands bore him back 
to earth! Could humanity ask more? 

Truly, in Jerusalem that day there was a hissing, seething and 
branding of flesh a strange smell in the air for all were too 
glad to give him allegiance : men and women of all classes and 
conditions were rejoicing in the sufferings that this fiery bap- 
tism of the flesh gave to them, in their willing worship and 
compliance to his wishes. 

And not to the Jew alone but to the Gentile in their gates 
and woe, thrice woe, to any one who hesitated to receive the 
mark. The guillotine stood ready to decapitate, the sword 
ready to slay. 

So Jerusalem after another night of revelry, of music, of 
feasting, of drinking, and vilest debauchery tired out, as the 
night shadows were lifted from the coming morning, lay down 
in drunken sleep, branded one and all with the mark of the 
Man God. 



60 THAT JEW! 



CHAPTER IX. 

THAT JEW! 

That Jew! 

What Jew? 

There is only one Jew THE CHRIST JEW and we will not 
have this Jew reign over us! 

For the hate of JEHOVAH and His CHRIST, spawned in Baby- 
lon, cradled in Rome, and raised to> manhood in Paris, shall at 
last hiss to High Heaven its challenge and defiance. 

We see once again the Old Roman Empire standing out in 
terrible boldness her ancient landmarks may be traced and 
again the two divisions, the Eastern and the Western. 

We see Europe divided into ten portions, five kingdoms in 
the Western, five kingdoms in the Eastern division. The Em- 
pire of the Great Alexander of Macedonia stands out as of old 
in its four divisions from Greece to the great river, the river 
Euphrates and in this division, four of the kingdoms have for 
centuries cried, We will not have this Jew to reign over us. The 
fifth kingdom in its broken fragments has worshipped a Woman 
and Child a superstition conceived of by Satan in Babylon long 
ages ago; the woman and child rechristened Mary and Jesus 
being worshipped with the very rites and ceremonies taken from 
Babylon. 

In the Western division we have seen Rome dominantthe 
Babylonish' mother and child honored by the state on every 
altar, in every nation except one. The early modern students 
of the Word, who had studied the spirit of JESUS CHRIST, for the 
Spirit of Prophecy is the spirit of CHRIST, had hopes that Eng- 
land and Scotland, who held up an open Bible, and sent forth 
missionaries, heralds of the Cross, to every land, would not be 
held in the Satanic covenant of hell and of death. But, alas, 
students of GOD'S Word can now see that there is no foundation 
for such hope can see that England is ripening fast to a readi- 
ness for the worship of the Antichrist when his day comes. The 
established church is fast dividing into two seemingly hostile 



THAT JEW! 61 

camps. Already the sowing of the seed of Satan by Newman 
and Peusey, the watering of it by Gladstone and Salisbury by 
the appointment of men to the bishops' sees, who were bound 
heart and soul by Roman superstition has produced a harvest 
of superstition myriads of followers after one of the master- 
pieces of Satan. 

In the other camp we see a Kingsley, a Maurice, an Arnold, 
a Stanley, a Jowet, a Driver, a Cheyne, casting discredit on the 
entire Word of GOD. We see independent churches aping the 
established church. We see the term "Scholar !" the prize held 
out by Satan to all who will join the ranks of this hyper-criti- 
cism. We see the Free Church of Scotland blasted by a Robert- 
son Smith, a George Adam Smith, and a hundred other such 
deceivers of men, who, sucking the virus of disease from Ger- 
man corpses, have polluted the good blood of Scotland, and 
made the Church of Scotland a nest of vipers of the foulest kind. 

Surely readers of GOD'S Word stand with amazement as they 
see the hyper-critic's vast citadel of unbelief, a most imposing 
structure, built on the most flimsy foundations; every critic full 
of personal vanity, questioning for himself this passage and that 
passage of Holy Writ, until there is hardly a verse or state- 
ment not disbelieved in by some one of these Godless men. 
Surely Satan never fooled a lot of men so-called learned men 
more easy than these hyper-critics. Without rhyme or reason, 
simply by their verifying faculty, they pronounce judgment on 
the authorship of every book in the Bible. Nothing shows so 
clearly the delusion of Satan (the strong delusion that GOD said, 
HE would let fall on men who would not have His truth) as 
this same higher criticism. 

So men came to look on the Bible as a book of Jewish lies, 
a mingling of error with some little truth. These hyper-critics 
loudly said : We will not have this Jew CHRIST in the Old Tes- 
tament. Then they went a step forward, they disowned the 
right of the apostles to speak with authority, and then denied 
that CHRIST said this or that, until His GOD-HEAD was driven 
from the New Testament, and common men and women would 
have no more curtailment of their passions and pleasures by 
THAT JEW ! 

And so when came the time of GOD'S withdrawal of His HOLY 



62 THAT JEW! 

SPIRIT from the minds of men, the Romanist and hyper-critic, 
both despisers of the Word of GOD, joined hands, and welcomed 
the most wonderful of all Satanic devices to blind the human soul. 

For there is no disputing the fact, that the preaching of the 
Gospel in Continental Europe has been a gigantic failure. Euro- 
pean Paganism put on a thin coating of Christianity, but the 
multitudes were still Pagans. The rule of CHRIST was not known 
where Catholicism held sway. The rule of CHRIST is based on 
love, and Continental Europe as a mass feared, and in their heart 
of hearts hated THE CHRIST, that JEW GOD! The thought has 
ever been repellant to the unregenerated Gentile mind. That 
Jew a God! 

It was this very thought that, perchance, unconsciously whetted 
with hatred the wit and sarcasm of Voltaire, Renan, Strauss, 
and scores of other writers. And now Continental Europe had 
surely enough of this Jew Question and more than enough of 
that Jew God ! Why should that Jew's opinions be a guide to 
us, be a stern command driving us from the pleasures of life 
standing between us and all the joys that make up the sum of 
days of pleasure upon the earth. The passions revel with 
thoughts of the dance of Venus, of the kisses, of the embraces, 
while ever that pale Jew God stands with frowning face, with 
upraised hand, with His pictures of hellfire, and His everlasting, 
Thou shalt not! 

Away with such a pestilent fellow from the earth! Away 
from our thoughts ! We will be free men, uncontrolled, unfet- 
tered by this cobweb the thought "'tis sin!" 

And so when Babylon arose from her grave and when she 
became the heart, the mart of all the nations of the earth her 
prince became the ideal ruler in Europe! Under his peaceful 
sway, there was no hunger, no nakedness ; but bread, and meat, 
and beer, for every toiler in Babylon. His name was on every 
lip, his praise upon many million tongues "There was none like 
him, none!" 

And so burdened by the crushing weight of providing money 
for armament on sea and land, the people arose and confusion 
filled Europe. Anarchy would have triumphed but for this 
prince of Babylon. He spoke and Europe listened. He brought 
order from disorder. He became the arbitrator of Europe. Ten 



THAT JEW! 63 

kings ruled the old Roman earth the clay could not escape from 
contact with the iron, thus forming a limited monarchy. And 
every king had to take the prince of Babylon for his pattern. 
When he showed his first inclinations for conquest and three 
kingdoms acknowledged him their king, Europe mistrusted him 
not, but they rather delighted in his conquest. And then came 
the thought and it swiftly ran from people to people, from na- 
tion to nation, from tongue to tongue Let him be the Caesar! 

So when he left the Holy Land to accept the invitation pressed 
on him by every European capital, the Europeans by ballot and 
wild acclamation accepted him as the Man God. They were 
ready to accept the Devil's lie the grace of GOD had been with- 
drawn the mighty miracles wrought by the prophet in the 
Man God's presence convinced the most skeptical that here was 
no trick, no fraud, but a power whose acts stood wonderful 
before all. 

Then over Europe came the branding of man, woman and 
child, and certain death to the person who would not comply. 
All Europe had turned from that JEW GOD, His temples and 
altars were desecrated and set ablaze the most stately churches 
of Roman worship destroyed. The Bible was a hated book, 
every copy that hate could put a h'and on was destroyed the 
wish, the desire to blot the name of CHRIST from the world be- 
came the ruling passion of millions. And woe to the Christian, 
hated, hunted as a beast of prey; no hiding place too deep, too 
dark, too miserable, but it should be searched. Without the 
mark on hand or forehead none could trade, nor buy food, 
drink, or clothes. The guillotine, the cross, the gibbet, the wild 
beast den, had plenty to whet their appetites. Was there a 
hill in Europe that did not bear on its crest mangled bones, the 
deadly fruit of Antichristian hate? 

At first a silent Heaven: Neither JEHOVAH NOR His CHRIST 
seemed to take heed of this revolt. Their names seemed blotted 
from the Roman earth. 

Their only known representative being the Two Witnesses in 
Palestine, and they stretched not forth a single hand to do this 
Man God aught of ill. They did not force themselves into his 
presence. Were they not afraid? And so supreme stood the 
Man God, going from capital to capital of Europe, everywhere 



64 THAT JEW! 

demanding, and receiving, Divine honors. A silent GOD, a silent 
CHRIST, a silent Heaven, with Satan's right to rule disputed only 
in that place from whence came all human misery Jerusalem! 
Then arose the thought, The lew, ever a stumbling block to 
the world, why not destroy him from the face of the earth? 



THAT JEW! 65 



CHAPTER X. 

THE DEATH OF THE WITNESSES. 

And suddenly up loomed the old, old question, that Jew Ques- 
tion, in the face of all Europe aye, in the face of all the world. 
For strange stories came from this Jewish land, and strange 
events were happening in Jerusalem. In spite of the rich Jew- 
ish rulers' attempts to keep the matter hidden, giving it out as 
a very small thing; in spite of the suppression of news, the 
tact soon became apparent that treason and rebellion were ram- 
pant in Jerusalem. From different parts of the world, attracted 
as moths to the light, came Jews, who had heard of the procla- 
mation of the Two Witnesses. For these turbulent men, who- 
ever they were, had strange powers. They walked through the 
length and breadth of the land, fearlessly proclaiming the Com- 
ing of the Kingdom, warning the sons of Israel not to bow to, 
nor receive the mark, nor number, of the Antichrist. 

And it was noticeable, in spite of the fury of the Antichris- 
tians against such, that their followers grew and waxed strong 
the very rabble of the land stood up as their followers. The 
land was full of traitors! Could it be believed that fully one- 
third of the population of the land was in both secret and open 
rebellion against the Man-God the darling of the human heart 
whom Europe worshipped? 

And then strange wonders happened. These Two Witnesses 
had power to turn water into blood, so that terrible sufferings 
came on all the land, more especially on the cities. 

Then where the rains? These Two Witnesses had declared 
that the rain should be held back for a certain space. They 
were laughed at and mocked, yet, withal, the rain came not. 
And the seed rotted in the ground, and the grass grew scant, 
and plant life shriveled, and vines were blasted and blighted; 
the olive trees withered, and the trees of the forest became as 
dead, dried twigs. With such news as this throughout the 
world, the prayer became almost universal to the Man God to 
destroy these destroyers of human happiness. 



66 THAT JEW! 

And then he put forth his pressure on the rulers of Israel, arid 
because they could not stay this rebellion, this insult to his name, 
this blot on his Godhead, he laid on them heavy burdens. Their 
gold paid the price of their want of loyalty he oppressed them 
so that the rich rulers' lives became very bitter indeed. 

And sore perplexed were the rulers. They had done, without 
avail, all that human could do, but how could the human battle 
with the supernatural? For it became apparent to all Israel 
that the Two Witnesses were more than human. And so they 
cried for the Man God to come to their aid again. He did, and 
then commenced the darkest hour of Jacob's trouble. His cruelty 
to the Jewish rulers knew no bounds. No matter how long 
and loud they cried Hosanna to his Godship, they could no 
longer blind themselves to the fact that he hated them with 
an unappeased hatred. Day and night his hand was heavy upon 
them. His words, ofttimes sweeter than honey, became more 
bitter than the poison of asps. Day by day he became more op- 
pressive, more domineering, more unreasonable in his demands, 
until the rulers and rich men of Israel knew that he was en- 
compassing them with cruelty and death. Now they acknowl- 
edged, but alas, too late, that they had indeed made a covenant 
with hell and with death. 

But yet, in spite of all his malice and hate, a remnant of the 
Jews would not acknowledge Him. They were, to be sure, of 
the lowest, poorest of the city and the land, but somehow his 
hate was ever baffled as to their destruction. They found a 
refuge somehow, they wanted not water nor bread, even now 
that the most cruel and bitter famine was in the land. The 
land became a very desert, for the blessing of rain was withheld. 

The land and the people became a burden to the Man God. 
All the oppression that Satanic ingenuity could conceive of were 
laid upon these people they were ruthlessly robbed, and slaugh- 
tered, and covered with all sorts of infamy, until they cursed 
their king and their God! Their lives were very bitter, and 
mourning filled the city and the land. Fain would the Anti- 
christ blot them from the earth, for here he stood baffled before 
humanity. He was utterly powerless in the matter of slaying 
the Witnesses, or in destroying the remnant. He could see that 
he had full power to torture, to slay the Jews that knelt to 



THAT JEW! 67 

him in worship, but there was a remnant that he could not 
destroy. 

But at last he boasted that on a certain day he would most 
certainly slay the Two Witnesses. And to see this event every 
kingdom of the world was invited to send ambassadors to Jerusa- 
lem, for on a certain day the world should see the end of these 
traitors the destroyers and disturbers of human happiness. 

Shall we be wrong in saying that Jerusalem had never seen 
such a gathering? The great ones of the earth were there. The 
world stood, as it were, on tiptoe, awaiting that hour. 

And around the world went the electric spark the anxious, 
listening nations heard, and from millions of lips rang forth 
triumphant shouts of victory. A universal joy, a universal holi- 
day, when the world heard that the Man God had slain the Two 
Witnesses. Unbridled rejoicing, and unbounded praise to the 
Man God. 

At last JEHOVAH was conquered. HE was driven from the 
earth. The heavens gave no showing of His wrath. This tribal 
JEWISH GOD and His CHRIST were dead! 

"And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them 
and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because 
these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth." 

A silent heaven for three and one-half days. "And their dead 
bodies shall lie in the street of the Great City, which spiritually 
is called Sodom and Egypt, where also OUR LORD was crucified. 
And they of the people, and kindreds and tongues, and nations 
shall see their dead bodies three days and one-half, and shall 
not suffer their dead bodies to be put in their graves." 

And surely not a nation, nor people of the Roman earth' but 
sent representatives to that sight in Jerusalem. Every flag in 
Europe floated over the great ones of every nation. And never 
before was such a volume of praise; such divine honors paid 
to the Man God. 

And it is probable that he had summoned his ten kings, who 
reigned over Europe under him, to come to Jerusalem and behold 
for themselves the dead bodies of the Two Witnesses. For 
this was surely the supreme moment of his glory, the hour of 
his unclouded fame, for over the Roman earth what tongue might 



68 THAT JEW! 

wag but in praise of him? Even this Jewish remnant had van- 
ished, crestfallen and dismayed, to their secret hiding places. 

And as the ten kings gazed there, and Antichrist stood su- 
preme, the acknowledged God of all, what is this? 

Suddenly a voice from the heavens above, dropping down 
from the bright Syrian sky, said: 

"Come up hither!" 

Lo, suddenly life came into the dead bodies ; as men awakened 
from sleep, the Witnesses arose to their feet, and slowly they 
ascended heavenward in a cloud. 

What fear! What consternation! What dismay! With 
what breathless silence their enemies beheld them growing less 
and less in the clear azure of heaven. Every eye strained aye, 
more than a million eyes beheld their ascension. 

And then, horror of horrors, what was this? The ground 
swayed and heaved beneath their feet ! Every heart was stricken 
with a terrible fear; and lo, the walls of the house were rock- 
ing to and fro, bending as trees shaken by a mighty wind. Then 
the deafening crash of buildings, cries of horror in every street, 
frantic cries, bitter wails, the last shriek of the dead, the moan 
of the wounded. A blind rush of human beings, as of wild 
animals, to escape this awful place for what would not this 
JEHOVAH and His CHRIST do ! 

And surely this Jerusalem must be a cursed spot for Gentile 
feet. With terror at heart, and curses on their lips, that wild 
rabble of sight-seeing Gentiles fled, reckoning not if they trampled 
beneath their feet the dearest and nearest ones on earth. 

Surely in a little time the crestfallen Man God found him- 
self borne out of that city, and not a Gentile foot stood in 
Jerusalem. 

Surely on the plain below he turned and shook his hand at 
the towers of Jerusalem. He would wash this defeat out in 
Jewish blood, and leave not one stone upon another to tell wh'ere 
Jerusalem had been. 



THAT JEW! 



CHAPTER XL 

TIDINGS FROM THE EAST. 

And now as the silence of Heaven was broken, the arrows of 
JEHOVAH'S anger fell thick and fast upon a world that had 
scorned HIM and His CHRIST had defied them and worshipped 
Antichrist. 
"Tidings out of the East and out of the North troubled him." 

And well they might, for news came that the Barbaric Tribes 
of Asia, "The Yellow Peril," were coming against his golden 
city of Babylon, to plunder and to sack. And then his defeat 
by these cursed Jews, in the face of the world, maddened him 
beyond expression, for although the Jews were not the instru- 
ment, still he coupled JEHOVAH and the Jews together. And 
now his vengeance should be terrible. He determined that every 
Jew in his dominion should perish, and the purpose of a former 
Roman Caesar came to his mind to erase Jerusalem and run 
the plowshare across her ruins. 

First these barbarians must be checked, and forthwith rang 
the command to all Europe: "To the rescue of Babylon!" And 
Europe rose as if one man. "To arms, to arms," was the cry of 
man and woman; aye, and let it be remembered that the Jews, 
and Jerusalem the hated, stood between Europe and the bar- 
barians. Let therefore the swollen angry tide of humanity roll 
across Palestine like a devastating flood, wrecking with pillage 
and slaughter, leaving not a babe behind, much less a man or 
woman ! 

So Europe resounded with the clash of arms, the gathering 
of hosts. The war vessels and transports were crowded with 
warriors. Merchant vessels, fast steamers, were given readily, 
or seized on ruthlessly, for warriors must be landed on the 
coast of Palestine. 

And as there was little chance of freightage for a mixed mul- 
titude, either by vessel or rail, a second crusade called forth men 
and women in one indescribable mass, who would in their hate 



70 THAT JEW! 

of the Jew walk to Palestine. Europe was moving, and Palestine 
was the place of gathering. Millions on millions were on their 
way for vengeance. 

"He shall plant the tabernacle of his palace between the seas": 
and here he awaited his coming hosts. Such armaments as these 
were never seen before by mortal man. His heart swelled with 
haughty pride. 

And was not Russia gathering her forces ? Like a sullen thun- 
der cloud she hung, blackening all the northern horizon, falcon 
like to swoop down at any moment on the prey for the loss 
of Constantinople and Asiatic Turkey was as a thorn in her 
side. She surely meditated a descent on the new Roman Empire. 

Yet what was this? 

The city of his pride, his Babylon, was surely in the toils of 
JEHOVAH ! 

A noisome, horrible sore had fallen on its inhabitants; and 
science stood aghast, unable to give relief! Then the plague of 
blood; the sea became so stagnant that vessels could make no 
headway on its tideless waters. 

Then the rivers were stricken, they and the fountains of waters 
were turned to blood, and a terrible thirst slaughtered its thou- 
sands. 

Then a plague of heat so hot became the atmosphere of Baby- 
lon, that its inhabitants were scorched as if by fire, scorched 
with a great heat, so that their sufferings were terrible beyond 
expression. Not a plant nor tree escaped this plague. Babylon 
stood on a plain, barren, blasted and desolate so far as verdure 
was concerned. 

Then came a terrible darkness so that the inhabitants gnawed 
their tongues for pain. 

And then tidings of a still more dreadful character reached 
his ears : The water of His river, the great river, the river Eu- 
phrates, had suddenly dried up. Babylon was cut off from the 
sea ; commerce had received a deadly blow ; and this gave a 
free passage way to the Barbarian Hosts, who, alas, were already 
at the skirts of Babylon, ready to devour her. 

"One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to 
meet another, to show the King of Babylon that his city is taken" 

"The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they 



THAT JEW! 71 

have remained to their holds; their might hath failed; they 
became as women; they have burned her dwelling places; her 
bars are broken. They (the Asiatic Hosts) shall hold the bow 
and the lance; they are cruel and will not show mercy; their 
voices shall soar as the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, 
every one in battle array, like a man to the battle, against thee, 
O Daughter of Babylon." 

"The King of Babylon hath heard the report of them and his 
hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as 
of a woman in travail." 

"Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling Jor- 
dan." 

For surely then revenge was in every fiber of his soul. Rest- 
less, nervous, waiting, waiting for the armaments of Europe, 
which were even then in sight of the coast. In a few hours the 
ships would be unloading their myriads of armed men. Alas! 
too late to save Babylon, but not too late for vengeance of the 
direst kind to the bitter end both on Jew and Barbarian. And 
now what was that? 

The black hand of JEHOVAH had shattered the glory and the 
beauty of the world. 

An earthquake had destroyed Babylon; not a building left 
standing; all was in ruins; and her gorgeous palaces, store 
houses, and dwelling houses, were wrapped in fire and smoke 
for as GOD overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah with fire, so had HE 
destroyed Babylon. 

"At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved 
and the cry is heard among the nations!" 

The Greatest Exchanges in the world were thrown into utter 
confusion; the money markets were paralyzed; ruin stared 
men in the face; men who were millionaires in the morning 
were beggars at evening, for "her traders were princes, the great 
men of the earth were her merchantmen" 

This sudden destruction of commercial values most appalling; 
every trader, the round world over, felt its effects. And this 
maddened Europe to its centre one thought alone seemed to 
fill every soul : hatred to JEHOVAH, who had done this deed, for 
there was none but could see the hand mightier than that of a 
man laid in destructive power, shattering the glory of Babylon. 



72 THAT JEW! 

And GOD allowed Satan to open the bottomless pit, to unloose 
the myriad of demons bound in the river Euphrates: and HE 
allowed this evil host to possess the Roman Empire; to enter 
into humanity, man, and woman; and so permitted the strong 
delusion to work their everlasting ruin. Men and women were 
mad enough to dream that by the aid of Satan and his many 
millions of spirits they could battle with JEHOVAH and conquer 
HIM. So the hosts of maddened men, alas women also, rushing 
across Europe, coming from all corners and centres of Europe 
to meet on Palestine, were demon led. 

At last the armed men landed on the beach by thousands, tens 
of thousands, aye millions. At last Antichrist was once more 
surrounded by his ten kings, the hour of his vengeance was at 
hand. Tfce plains and valleys and mountains of Israel were 
covered by blaspheming, armed, trained men of war, who were 
only too eager for the conflict. At last he moved forward in 
sullen pride. 

"He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash 
he hath laid up his carriages: they are gone over the passage: 
they have taken up their lodgings at Geba: Radmah is afraid: 
Gibeah of Saul is fled" Lift up thy voice, O Daughter of Gil- 
liam: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth. Mad- 
menah is removed: the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves 
to flee." 

"As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his 
hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the Hill of 
Jerusalem" 

"Yet He shall come to his end and none shall help him!" 

"Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise 
like the noise of the seas: and to the rushing of nations, that 
make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters ! The nations 
shall rush like the rushing of many waters : but JEHOVAH shall 
rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as 
the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a thistle- 
down before the whirlwind. Like as the lion and the young 
lion roaring on his prey when a multitude of shepherds is called 
forth against him, HE will not be afraid of their voices, nor 
abase Himself for the noise of them: so shall THE LORD OF 



THAT JEW! n 

HOSTS come down to fight for Mount Zion, and for the hill 
thereof. As birds flying, so will THE LORD OF HOSTS defend 
Jerusalem: defending also HE will deliver it and passing over 
HE will preserve it." 



74 THAT JEW! 



CHAPTER XII. 

THE DAY OF JACOBUS TROUBLE. 

"For it is the time of Jacob's trouble." 

One may faintly conceive that when the Jewish mind had re- 
covered from the effects of the earthquake, a sense of great relief 
filled their hearts, as they beheld the rush of the Gentiles from 
the city, and they only, the Jews, left behind. Their Gentile 
persecutors one and all were only too glad to shake the dust 
of that city from their feet. To be sure all was confusion, and 
disorder the Jews were like a pack of sheep without a shepherd, 
without a leader to tell them what to do. 

But suddenly it was noticeable that the men who had not re- 
ceived the mark of the Man God were getting more numerous; 
they were coming from their hiding places, from underground 
cellars and caves and all of them had ringing words of cheer 
on their lips. To be sure they were once the poor ones, the 
needy brothers, the despised ones, but now they grasped at the 
leadership speaking great words of cheer. They proclaimed 
boldly that the hour of Jacob's redemption was at hand. They 
pointed out how the words of the Two Witnesses had partly 
come to pass, and that, without the shadow of a doubt, the rest 
of their promises would also be fulfilled. The resurrection of 
JEHOVAH'S messengers from the dead their visible ascension to 
Heaven the terrible earthquake was surely the finger of JEHO- 
VAH. At last His hand was stretched out to rescue His people 
their redemption from all their enemies was surely at hand. 

And a great hope filled the Israelitish breast those who were 
of the Remnant waxed bold as very lions. The rich ones, and 
those who had received the mark of the Man God could not 
realize such high' hopes. But to them came the daring of de- 
spair! The only spot in Europe where they could feel at home 
was Zion in that city they would rather die than anywhere 
else. And then, perchance, there still was hope. Russia to the 
north might swoop down at any time with its millions of trained 



THAT JEW! 75 

men; the Barbarians were not all destroyed; what if they were 
making westward to plunder Europeai} cities? But the Bar- 
barians never ill-treated the house of Israel: Perchance, their 
Oriental Cohorts would be here before it was possible for the 
European nations to pour their trained millions on the fields of 
Palestine. And then, perforce, America would plead mediation 
for them with yonder despot. The destruction of his capital, 
the oncoming rush of the Barbarians, the seeming down sweep- 
ing of the Russian millions, might make a wish in his heart for 
the help of America. Surely their brethren in America would 
plead with the authorities to ask him to be gracious to the Jews 
in Jerusalem. They were not dead men yet ; there was a glim- 
mering of hope and time a little time might bring deliverance 
from some quarter. 

So then Jerusalem was divided into two parties, both looking 
for deliverance from widely different points. 

The Remnant, as we will call the followers of the Two Wit- 
nesses, put no trust in any human aid, to look for human help 
was utterly useless ; they trusted for deliverance only to the direct 
interference of JEHOVAH. HE, and HE alone, was their refuge 
and their only hope. 

The richer brethren, the former followers of the Man God, 
had only a faint hope of heavenly aid. Their hearts were yet 
set on human aid from some quarter: to use a common phrase, 
"Something would turn up"; and they were rich yet, perchance 
love of their gold would make some Gentile hearts relent, and 
make a way of escape from the hands of their enemies. 

And now it was noticeable that at night hundreds of men and 
women who had hidden themselves in rocky caves, ravines and 
mountain fastnesses, months, and even years before, were now 
coming into the city for was not the hour of deliverance at 
hand? 

The glorious promises of th'e ancient prophets were constantly 
on their lips. JEHOVAH'S promises were now pondered over. 
"So shall the LORD OF HOSTS come down to fight for Mount Zion 
and for the Hill thereof" 

"As birds Hying, so will the LORD OF HOSTS defend Jerusalem. 
Defending also HE will deliver it: and passing over HE will 
preserve it" 



76 THAT JEW! 

What more fitting to their stricken hearts ! What more glori- 
ous promise to this strange bird, that the nations hated and 
hunted to death on every mountain of Europe, than those ex- 
ceeding precious words : "An d the multitude of all the nations 
that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her 
munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night 
vision*." 

"It shall even be as wh'en an hungry man dreameth, and, be- 
hold, he eateth : but he awaketh, and his soul is empty : or as 
when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh: but he 
awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: So 
shall the multitudes of all th'e nations be, that fight against 
Mount Zion." 

And now for the defence of the city! How could they best 
keep the enemy at bay until the hour of deliverance? For they 
would show their faith' by their works. They were not to sit 
down with folded hands and await the coming hour. Some 
defense was necessary and indeed the Word of GOD said plainly, 
that they were to be found by JEHOVAH fighting their enemies. 
It seemed foolishness, madness to think of a defense, but then 
it was their duty. So with songs of hope and cheer on their 
lips to help along the fearing brethren, to strengthen their weak 
hands, and feeble knees, they looked to their war weapons, made 
an examination of the old walls, looked to the gates of the old 
city taught the young men and boys how to handle rifle and 
sword. It was a busy time in Jerusalem. Only the very aged 
had time to sit down at their ease. 

For this resistance to their enemies was surely commanded. 
"In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth 
of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf 
Judah shall fight at Jerusalem." 

And so th'e days went by. From their towers the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem could see the Man-God's tents, could hear their 
shoutings and the music of dances and revelry but no attempt 
was made on the Gentile's part to re-enter the city. The inhab- 
itants knew well it was only a little breathing spell. They had 
been informed of the taunts and boastings of the enraged Man 
God. He was but waiting for his armaments from Europe 



THAT JEW! 77 

and then the time would come to glut his hatred and vengeance 
not only on the inhabitants but on every stone in Jerusalem. 

And the watchers of Jerusalem heard how JEHOVAH'S hand was 
heavy on Babylon, of her utter destruction, and took comfort; 
for though JEHOVAH had not yet in any manner revealed HIM- 
SELF to them, had given them no sign nor token, the Remnant 
still held fast to His promise. These were the days that they 
were as a people shut up entirely with the Word: that, the only 
means of hope, comfort and relief to their souls. 

And now they knew the war vessels had come at last; they 
knew that in the offing was the greatest gathering, and group- 
ing, of war ships the world had ever seen. They knew that 
every minute saw the landing of hundreds of trained soldiers. 
They saw in the distance the fluttering of flags and banners; 
saw the hills and valleys covered with living armed men, thick 
as locusts; so that the earth might well tremble at the meas- 
ured tread of the cohorts. And round about Jerusalem on every 
side, bristling weapons of war flashed and gleamed in the 
sunlight. 

They saw cohort after cohort take up its position; they saw 
the planting of the standards, and they knew that the last day 
was about to dawn. The taunts and sneers of their foes, borne 
to their ears, told them that on th'e morrow was The Day of 
Doom! 

And surely such a gathering of hosts as fairly darkened and 
covered all the land, was enough to quench the hope of every 
Jew in Jerusalem. Even the Remnant were dismayed. Their 
hearts could not help feeling a terror a dread. As to the oth- 
ers, they were filled with the utmost horror. They had not a 
hope of deliverance. Despair had eaten to their heart's core. 
"Ask ye now and see whether a man doth travail with child? 
Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a 
woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas, 
for that day is great, so that none is like it: It is even the time 
of Jacob's trouble" 

Is this to be the last evening the last offering of the evening 
sacrifice? Ah, the temple place is filled, not a space left, for 
the weary stricken heart of Israel can find no other place on 
earth that can give as it were a little resting for th'e soul. Did 



78 THAT JEW! 

eye ever before behold such abject sorrow? When compared to 
their enemies, they were at best only a few thousand men, 
women and children, while around them were millions of men 
every one hating them to the death. A few thousand clinging 
to a rock, and around them the angry stormy sea encircling, 
ready to dash over them, swallow them up, and leave not a soul 
to tell they had ever been there! 

What an evening! Perchance, a beautiful pleasant one the 
sun sinking as it were into the waves of the sea; a sea covered 
with thousands of ships of the foeman, and millions around them 
laughing, singing, dancing, feasting, drinking to the gayest music. 

For on this evening there is high revelry in the camp of the 
Gentile Hosts. The Man God is feasting with his ten kings 
seated at his table. There is the wildest liberty of speech and 
action for this God believes that His worshippers should make 
merry. 

And on the hill of Zion. Ah, the watchers, numbed as it 
were at heart and soul, shrank from thoughts of the dread to- 
morrow. 

"Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn as- 
sembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble 
the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: 
let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out 
of her closet. 

"Let the priests, the ministers of THE LORD, weep between 
the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare Thy People, O 
LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen 
should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the 
people, Where is their GOD?" 

But JEHOVAH gave no sign the Heavens were blank and dumb 
the only comfort the children of Israel had was THE WRITTEN 
PROMISE OF GOD. And so in this attitude of kneeling around 
the altar of JEHOVAH the night shadows passed away, and the 
morning dawned. 



THAT JEW! 79 



CHAPTER XIII. 

THE COMING OF THE KING. 

The last day of Gentile Supremacy on the earth had dawned. 

This day marked the ending of the Old, the commencement 
of the New Age. 

The last night of the "Times of the Gentiles" had been 
marked by the besiegers of Jerusalem with a wild and unre- 
strained revelry, with unblushing debauchery. The high water 
mark of effrontery to Heaven had been reached every known 
law of JEHOVAH had been jeered at, mocked at, and broken. 

And the worn-out sleepers of the camp were suddenly awak- 
ened by the most uncanny screams from mid air. Men rubbed 
their eyes to catch a glimpse of what might cause this strange 
crying in the air. In the breaking of the morning light they saw 
the Heavens north and south, east and west, dark and black; 
but lo, what seemed clouds they soon knew to be birds; birds 
of prey carrion birds, coming to a common resting place; all 
moving towards Jerusalem. The air was rilled with their wild 
screamings men cowered at this fierce crying above their heads ; 
for now the eagles, condors, and vultures, were swooping down, 
were sitting on trees, on cliffs, on crags, in places inaccessible 
to men ; wherever the feet of men were not, even there alighted 
the birds of prey. 

For the bidden guests of JEHOVAH were coming to be fed. 

It had been a general invitation: For the Angel had cried, 
saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of Heaven: "Come 
and gather yourselves together unto the supper of THE GREAT 
GOD: that ye may eat of the flesh of Kings, and the flesh of 
captains, and the flesh of mighty men, both free and bond, both 
great and small." 

The morning came. "A day of blackness and gloominess, a 
day of clouds, and of thick darkness, as the morning spread 
upon the mountains" 

And trie Gentile Hosts : "A great people and strong: there 
hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, 



80 THAT JEW! 

even to the years of many generations. A fire devoureth before 
them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is a garden 
of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness: 
yea, and nothing shall escape them. Before their faces the people 
shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness" 

''Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision for the day of 
THE LORD is near in the valley of decision" Yea, indeed the 
Gentiles had been awakened and come up to the valley of 
Jehoshaphat. 

Would 'that the imagination could grasp and paint that scene ! 

A city of a few thousand inhabitants two-thirds of them 
shaken with fear as shake the aspen leaves without a single 
ray of hope ; one-third of them buoyed up with more than mortal 
courage, prepared to give battle to millions. A city of destruc- 
tion surely, exclaims the human heart. 

And round about them millions on millions of horsemen and 
footmen, with all the modern appliances of warfare. Parks of 
artillery, that, had the cruel foeman wished, could have swept 
the city to a ruined heap in a few short hours. But, perchance, 
the long drawn out misery of these accursed Jews was by far 
sweeter than sudden destruction. The mice were safe, the cats 
could afford to play a little with their victims. 

Here then on a height that commanded a full view of this 
hated city, rested, to watch the coming victory, to feast his cruel 
eyes on their death agony The Man-God; at his feet the ten 
Kings of his great Roman Empire; a retinue that blazed with 
precious stones, and magnificent in purple, and scarlet, and laces, 
with decorations to hold and bedazzle the sight. 

The Man-God lifts his hand. The trumpet sounds a thousand 
trumpets catch the first note the mounted cohorts and the in- 
fantry move on. 

What is all the bravery of this handful of Jews! They are 
beaten back from loophole, and wall, and parapet. 

The city is taken! 

The wild license allowed the soldiers has commenced. The 
houses are rifled, the women ravished, and one-half of the in- 
habitants are held captives. They are, perchance, led to the pres- 
ence of the Man-God who is soon to whet his vengeance on the 
miserable cowering captives. 



THAT JEW! 81 

But now this Remnant has been pressed towards the Temple, 
fighting every step with a reckless daring, a splendid courage 
that their enemies admire. They are now inside the Temple in- 
closure is it to die? 

Surely not, JEHOVAH OF HOSTS! 

But what is this suddenly an appalling darkness, the sun shut 
out a darkness that may be felt confusion amid the Gentile 
hosts wild cries of terror and dismay: a cry from millions 
of lips. 

"Light! Light, O Man-God! where art thou? Give us light." 

But that terrible unnatural darkness cowed both man and 
beast. 

The hearts of both became silent. 

Then the light came from a point they wist not of. Suddenly 
from High Heaven a trumpet rang a blast that echoed like a 
thunder clap in every listener's ear. And then a shout the shout- 
ing of many, many millions, swelling and swelling until the 
heavens rolled as if with thunder, and the earth beneath men's 
feet trembled and shook with the vibrations. 

And suddenly, far away, o'er the Idumean Hills, a single shaft 
of unutterably brilliant light ! Then a million shafts, heralding a 
coming glory ; and then every eye of that Gentile host beheld the 
form of A MAN A MAN standing alone in mid-Heaven; the ex- 
ceeding brightness of whose glory dazzling to look on. 

Around them darkness, thick darkness and THAT MAN a blaz- 
ing glory projected as it were from a background of terrible 
darkness. 

All else, in Heaven above and Earth below, in utter darkness, 
darkness which was felt, the darkness of destruction, oppressive 
on eye and to soul the only figure visible THAT GLORIOUS 
MAN standing alone in mid-Heaven. 

And every Gentile soul knew THAT MAGNIFICENT KINGLY MAN 
was THE CRUCIFIED JEHOVAH CHRIST who a few seconds before 
they had jeered, mocked, taunted, daring HIM His worst to do! 

And THAT MAN coming coming, coming towards them! 

Lo, then, behind HIM, on all sides of HIM, a moving multi- 
tudinous company of beings, whose apparel glittered with a glory 
brighter than sunlight. 



82 THAT JEW! 

At His feet, rushing before HIM, was a whirlwind of flame, and 
smoke, and mighty thunderings. 

Appalled was all that Gentile army man and beast chilled 
silently and stiff with terror. 

And The Remnant of the Jews beheld, beheld with rapture, 
astonishment, and mighty wonder; ere they were aware, every 
one was on his knees, hand stretched out, and almost uncon- 
sciously from their lips in thunder tones welled forth: 

"BLESSED is HE THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!" 

"Lo! this is OUR GOD; we have waited for HIM, and HE will 
save us: this is THE LORD ; we have waited for HIM, we will be 
glad and rejoice in His salvation." 

And still JEHOVAH CHRIST moved on, high o'er the heads of the 
foeman, the trailings of His glory sweeping over the Apostates' 
heads. 

HE was descending from mid-air. 

"THE LORD MY GOD had come and all His Saints with HIM." 

"His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives 
which is before Jerusalem on the East." 

At last the prophecy uttered two thousand years ago is ful- 
filled. 

"Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into Heaven? 
THIS SAME JESUS which is taken up from you into Heaven 
shall so come in like manner as ye have seen HIM go into 
Heaven." 

"And the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof 
towards the East, and towards the West and there shall be a 
very great valley and half of the mountain shall remove towards 
the North and half of it towards the South" 

And then JEHOVAH CHRIST veiling the glory of His face, turned 
to the Remnant, with ineffable tenderness of voice, saying : 

"Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers and shut thy 
doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, 
until the indignation be overpast!" 

"And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains for the valley 
of the mountains shall reach unto Azal." 

JEHOVAH CHRIST shall shut them in and when they are safe, HE 
shall turn to the silent Gentile hosts and do His work, "His 
strange work upon the earth" 



THAT JEW! 83 

HE shall speak and, lo, the Plague shall fall on the Gentile 
nations. "And this shall be the plague wherewith THE LORD 
will- smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; 
their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, 
and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their 
tongues shall consume away in their mouth. And so shall be the 
plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and 
of all the beasts that shall be in these tents. And it shall come 
to pass in that day, that a great tumult from THE LORD shall be 
among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of 
his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his 
neighbor. 

"Put ye in the sickle for the harvest is ripe: come, get ye 
down: for the press is full, the vats overflow" 

What a picture ! 

The helpless Antichrist, and the helpless Prophet both stand- 
ing silent afraid to look at THE CONQUEROR who by the word of 
His mouth had put the glory of Antichrist's millions to shame. 

The wasting away of the flesh! Their eyesight quenched for- 
evermore! Their tongues shriveling away! Neither beast nor 
man could see or cry ! A silent company of speechless millions ! 
Then the wild, mad prancings of the blinded animals; the mad 
dashing they knew not where, trampling one another ; the blinded 
horsemen in silent rage swinging their swords at foeman they 
could not see; men and horses dashing in blinded fury over hill 
and dale down precipitous steeps and ravines ! 

What a carnage ! 

"And the wine press was trodden without the city, and blood 
came out of the wine press, even unto the horses bridles, by the 
space of a thousand six hundred furlongs." (Or two hundred 
miles.) 

With his cohorts destroyed, the Man-God and his Prophet 
stood to receive their doom. And unseen to human eye, stood 
Satan by them crushed, defeated, utterly powerless, a captive 
awaiting his senetnce. The Satanic Trinity, all speechless, had to 
look up to THE CHRIST, whom they had cursed, defied, traduced 
and branded with infamy in the hearts of deluded men. 

There stood JEHOVAH CHRIST. "On His head were many 
crowns; and HE had a name written, that no man knew, but HE 



84 THAT JEW! 

alone. And HE was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood : And 
His name is called THE WORD OF GOD. And HE hath on His 
vesture and on His thigh a name written : 

"KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!" 

"And the beast was taken and with him the false prophet. 
These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with 
brimstone. 

"And an angel came down from Heaven, having the key of 
the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid 
hold on the Dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil, and 
Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the 
bottomless pit and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he 
should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should 
be fulfilled." 

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not 
be clear, nor dark. 

"But it shall be one day which shall be known to THE LORD, 
not day, nor night." 

And over the entire world shall JEHOVAH CHRIST'S presence be 
felt. But His wrath shall be more terrible over apostate Europe, 
and the nations who only accepted His Gospel in a half-hearted 
manner. 

On the day of His appearance the cities of the nations fell. 
Devastation and earthquakes were everywhere. "His wrath was 
upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, and upon all 
the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures" ; the lofti- 
ness of men was bowed down, the haughtiness of men made low. 
THE LORD alone was exalted on that day. Men hid themselves in 
the holes of the rocks and in the caves of the earth for the fear 
of THE LORD, for they beheld the flashings of His glory when 
HE arose to shake terribly the earth. 

His plagues devastated Europe, destroying its cities, and fields 
and vineyards. 

"But it shall come to pass that at evening time it shall be 
light." 

And then, veiling the imperial majesty of His glory, making 
His face so that mortal man could look upon His features, HE 
liberated from their rock-bound cavern of safety, His people 
Israel. 



THAT JEW! 85 

In tKat day there was a fountain opened to the House of David 
and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. 

" I will pour upon the House of David and upon the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication: and they 
shall look upon ME whom they have pierced." 

THE ROYAL CHRIST Joseph was reconciled to His brethren at 
last. 

"They shall call on MY name, and I will hear them; I will 
say, It is MY people : and they shall say, THE LORD is MY GOD ! 

"And THE LORD shall be KING over all the earth: in that 
day shall there be ONE LORD and His name one. 

"The Kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of 
OUR LORD, and of His CHRIST: and HE shall reign for ever 
and ever." 

"And the ransomed of THE LORD shall return, and come to 
Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads; they 
shall obtain joy and gladness and sorrow and sighing shall 
flee away. 

The moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when 
the LORD OF HOSTS shall reign in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem 
and before His ancients gloriously. 

And it shall come to pass in that day, that JEHOVAH shall set 
His hand again THE SECOND TIME to recover the remnant of 
His people which shall be left from Assyria, and from Egypt, 
and from Pathros and from Cush, and from Elam, and from 
Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the Islands of the Sea. 
And HE shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble 
the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of 
Judah from the four corners of the earth. Who are these that 
fly as a cloud, and as doves to their windows. Surely the isles 
shall wait for ME, and the ships of Tarshish first to bring thy 
sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, unto the 
name of THE LORD THY GOD, and to THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL. 
Hear the word of JEHOVAH, O ye Nations, and declare it in the 
isles afar off, and say, HE that scattered Israel will gather him, 
and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock, therefore shall they 
come and sing in the height of Zion. Behold JEHOVAH shall 
bring them from the north country and gather them from the 
coasts of the earth. The sons of strangers shall build up thy 



86 THAT JEW! 

walls, and their Kings shall minister unto thee. Therefore thy 
gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor 
night ; that men may bring unto thee the wealth of the Gentiles. 
The nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish ; 
yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. The sons also of 
them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all 
they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles 
of thy feet; and they shall call thee The City of JEHOVAH, The 
Zion of THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL. A little one shall become a 
thousand and a small one a strong nation. 

/ JEHOVAH will hasten it in His Time! 

THY PEOPLE ALSO SHALL BE ALL RIGHTEOUS i they shall inherit 
the land forever, the branch of MY planting, the work of MY 
hands, that I may he glorified. All that see them shall acknowl- 
edge them, that they are the seed which JEHOVAH hath blessed 



THAT JEW! 87 



CHAPTER XIV. 

THE SANCTUARY OF ZION. 

One coming up from the South to the City of THE GREAT 
KING, even when fifty miles away, will see first, faintly outlined 
against the sky and running from East to West, a high, almost 
mountainous stretch of tableland. The exceedingly clear at- 
mosphere shows that the elevated land is some sixty miles wide, 
lying like a rocky rampart, or wall, as if to effectually block 
advance, unless by some easy grade of roadway winding zigzag 
on the face of the rock. 

On nearer approach one can see at about the center of the 
elevated tableland, a column of smoke, or cloud, arising as if 
from the ground, and in a solid mass entering unto high 
heaven ; a cloud of smoke not scattered nor dissipated in smaller 
masses by the wind. 

Nearer still, and one notices on the face of the rock a wide 
sheet of glistening water falling down in a beautiful unbroken 
cascade. No noisy roar of rushing, swirling waters, but a sound 
more like the hum of song in the summer atmosphere that would 
not disturb the slumbers of a child. 

On gaining the level of the tableland, one stands in the streets 
of the City of THE GREAT KING. But one presses forward 
through the city, several miles in width, for in the distance is a 
glory that chains the eye. 

One passes through the portion of the Levites, a beautiful 
luxuriant stretch of land some twenty-two miles wide, and then 
right at its border commences a stretch of country containing 
THE BEAUTY OF ALL LANDS THE SANCTUARY OF JEHOVAH AT 
ZION! 

About fifty feet of this structure stands in the portion of the 
Levites, while the remaining part of the Wonderful Building 
stands in the portion of THE PRINCE shall we call it, The 
Earthly Residence of The Risen Saints. 

Each one of the four sides of the structure is identically the 



88 THAT JEW! 

same so far as outward appearance, shape, height, size, material 
and ornamentation are concerned. 

From the ground rose the sapphire foundation wall twelve 
feet high and twelve feet thick, pierced by eleven massive gate- 
ways or entrances. Then rising above the wall, but not resting 
on the wall, a range of columns each sixty feet high, and spring- 
ing from the top of each column to meet the next an arch, the 
distance from center to center of the columns being sixty-two 
feet. 

See then a succession of decorated archways running one mile 
in length terminating at either end in the tower or corner court. 

The sapphire walls twelve feet high pierced at regular in- 
tervals by the eleven gateways each gateway fifty feet wide 
surmounted by columns four deep, each sixty feet high, and 
joined by eight magnificent arches. The building stood three 
stories in height, the sides partly covered by lattice work of 
rare stones. 

The sanctuary stood supremely the most glorious and beautiful 
structure ever beheld by human eyes. When first the eye be- 
holds, a wonderful silence falls on the heart and brain and soul 
and spirit. A great awe for this is surely a holy place the 
human brain could never have conceived of such. Human in- 
genuity and skillfulness alone could not have built nor shapen 
and without a miraculous formation of precious stones the ma- 
terial of the structure could never have been brought together. 

Behold a structure built of precious stones. Her foundation 
walls of sapphires, her windows, agates, her gates and towers 
flaming blazing carbuncles. 

The structure is a perfect square, each side one mile in length. 

Four corner towers each 360 feet square, each springing up 
in airy magnificent proportions 480 feet high towers built of 
carbuncle stones, with agate framing the windows of the many 
spacious landings. 

Each gateway was a counterpart of the others; in size, 
height, depth, ornamentation, exactly the same. The gateway 
has seven steps from the ground to the inside pavement of the 
building. On either side of the deep gateway, at equal distances 
from each other, are four posts, ten feet wide, twelve feet in 
depth, and about twenty-eight feet high, forming a pedestal to 



THAT JEW! 89 

columns sixty feet high, while springing from the top of one 
column to meet the opposite column is a magnificent arch across 
the gateway. The gateway is divided in the center by columns 
twenty-six feet high, and in either portion is a door twenty feet 
wide, each door having two leaves; two turning leaves, two for 
one door and two for the other; one gate being for exit, the 
other gate for entrance. On entering in one sees a fence or 
lattice work running the width of the house to meet similar door- 
ways at the other end of the passageways, so that a person enter- 
ing by one door cannot pass over to the passageway of the next 
door. 

For this is the law of the house. "He that entereth in by the 
way of the North Gate to worship shall go out by the way of the 
South Gate; and he that entereth by the way of the South Gate 
shall go forth by the way of the North Gate : he shall not return 
by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth 
over against it." The person who enters at one side of the 
building must pass along a courtway one mile in length, coming 
out at the opposite side of the structure. In edifices capable of 
holding millions, order must be paramount, to prevent a crusn", 
or unseemly confusion, if not accidents. 

One going in then at the entrance doorway stands in a build- 
ing one hundred feet deep from the face of the gate of the 
entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate. On either 
side of the gate passage are three little chambers twelve feel 
square, each chamber hemmed in by lattice work, so that one 
cannot pass directly from the little chambers into the larger 
chambers on either side, for the fretted work bars the way. 

And, lo, inside is an inner court one hundred feet wide, 
running uninterruptedly along the entire length of the side of the 
building. From the building proper springs a porch (running 
the entire length of the edifice, like a colonnade twenty feet 
wide and twenty-six feet high). Immediately opposite, separated 
by a courtway one hundred feet wide, lies another row of build- 
ings the counterpart of the outside row along its entire length 
being a similar porch or colonnade. 

Each section of the outer building from gateway to gateway 
is composed of large reception rooms or cellae, there being ten 
lower cellae on each of the four sides of the structure. Along 



90 THAT JEW! 

the sides of th. gate are elevators from the lower to the upper 
cellae each cellae being one hundred feet long and fifty feet 
wide. There are in all three cellae one above the other, one 
hundred and twenty feet high in the several stones. 

Now the four sides of this vast double structure hem in an 
enclosure on which stand the buildings composing the Temple. 
A stately structure, or rather succession of structures, built in 
circular shape, which in turn enclose an open area three miles in 
circumference, and about one mile across. 

Thirty separate buildings ; each stands complete by itself with 
a covered passageway between. Of the thirty buildings surround- 
ing the circular area, each building is a counterpart of the 
others in every particular, as to height, length, breadth, orna- 
mentation and construction, each building being two hundred 
feet high, two hundred feet in breadth and including porches 
two hundred and sixty feet in width. For all round the build- 
ings, on either side to the front and to the rear (if indeed this 
house shows any rear, for both sides are of equal beauty) runs 
a magnificent porchway three miles in circumference. Now each 
end of every building is shut in by a wall, one hundred and 
eighty feet deep, ten feet wide, and one hundred and forty feet 
high, from the level of the pavement of the cellae the pavement 
stood like a rampart twelve feet from the ground level. 

Between each building is a covered opening or passageway 
forty feet wide. One cannot pass from the covered opening to 
the buildings on either hand. From the ground to the cellae 
pavement the height is twelve feet, reached by steps that ascend 
on the inside of the porch. Rising on both sides of each entrance 
stands a platform upon which the pillars of the porch rest, the 
platform measuring twelve feet in height, ten feet in thickness 
(or width) and forty feet in length, and from this platform 
magnificent pillars rise to a height of eighty feet above the top 
of the platform. Now as one ascends the steps leading to the 
cellae pavement there stand on one hand stately pillars, on the 
other the Cherubim. And the Temple is made with Cherubim 
and palm trees (on the columns) so that a palm tree is between 
the Cherub; and each Cherub has two faces; so that the face 
of a man is towards the palm tree on the one side, and the face 
of a young lion towards the palm tree on the other side. 



THAT JEW! 91 

Now each Cherub is of magnificent proportions, the head of 
the Cherub is near to the outside of the porch on one side, and 
the hind part reaches to the end of the porch inward; a figure 
forty feet in length, ten feet in width, and twenty-four feet in 
height, cut in the form of a living creature ; each Cherub having 
two faces. Eight hundred Cherubim are planted all round at 
equal distances in the circular Temple three miles in circum- 
ference. 

One face represents THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH. 

One face represents THE MAN OF JEHOVAH'S RIGHT HAND. 

These beautiful structures stand at the narrowest point from 
the square building two hundred feet distant. From pillar to 
pillar of each house is a network of lattice work, and trailing o'er 
all the buildings is an immense vine, constantly bearing the most 
delicious grapes, in quantities always sufficient for plucking 
and not a single grape which falls from the bunch shows either 
mildew or decay and truly the millions of the Earth drink of 
the fruit of this vine. 

Inside of each structure is a magnificent single chamber or 
cellae a place of rare beauty with a ceiling of magnificent pro- 
portions and a groined roof. 

The Circular buildings of the Temple surround a place called 
The Most Holy, and here, since the buildings have been finished, 
the foot of mortal man has never dared enter. It would mean 
sudden, certain death to trespass there. 

In the center arises the highest of all the hills in the imme- 
diate neighborhood Mount Zion. Somewhat changed (as in- 
deed the entire land of Palestine was) when THE LORD JESUS 
CHRIST commenced to reign over the earth. On the top of 
Mount Zion is ample space for the altar. An altar 144 feet on 
each' side, having at each corner four square corners called 
horns, each 8 feet high; and outside the altar a court 16 
feet wide. The central portion of the altar, where the sacrifices 
are burned, is called The Lion of GOD. The outside section of 
the structure is called The Mount of GOD. This is raised two 
feet above the surface of the rock. 

"Welling from the four corner horns is an ample supply of 
water running into the altar place proper, then passing under 



92 THAT JEW! 

the Lion platform thus keeping the altar cool and preventing 
fusion or disruption of materials composing it." (See Sulky.) 

The fire on the altar never goes out, but the smoke of sacrifice 
ascends perpetually to Heaven meeting the Pillar of Cloud 
right above the altar the Cloudy Pillar where JEHOVAH mani- 
fests His GLORY OF PRESENCE to the eyes of the world, to all 
who will come to look and worship at His sanctuary. 

By day its appearance is a cloud, by night a blaze of glory, 
lighting the entire space of the Holy Oblation some fifty-seven 
miles square, with the soft brilliancy of sunshine, so that the 
words of the Prophet were true indeed : "There shall be no 
night there!" "Therefore the gates shall be opened continually; 
they shall not be shut day nor night." 

And as one's eye follows the ascending smoke, and gaze 
higher still, he may see, as if through a mist, the glow of a 
Jasper floorway a single slab of Jasper stretching 1444 miles 
square and he knows that the Jasper Stone is the lower 
foundation stone of The Home of The Saints. The New 
Jerusalem as recorded by John The Divine in the 21 st chapter 
of the Apocalypse. 

And this glorious earthly structure is 

THE HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL PEOPLE. 

And here comes yearly to keep the Feast of Tabernacles all 
the Nations of the Earth. 

And here come constantly, day by day, the year round, from 
all parts of the habitable Earth, men, women and children to give 
worship thanks and adoration to THE LOVING SAVIOR, and to see 

THE KING IN His BEAUTY. 

And while JEHOVAH JESUS is the essence of Love, yet HE 
will not resign His right to rule over the Nations. Therefore 
if any Nation in a National capacity, refuses to pay HIM the 
homage HE demands, and if after having been duly warned of 
the consequences, they still persist in disobeying His commands, 
His offended dignity does not long let the offenders alone in 
their contempt of HIM. 

It will not then be as now, in this Gospel age, when HE allows 
nations and petty individuals to say: "We will not have this 



THAT JEW! 93 

man to reign over us." In this age HE allows men to stand 
in seminary and college and read HIM out of the Old Testa- 
ment; to laugh at His pretensions to be THE SUFFERING ONE in 
the 53d of Isaiah; to cut and curry the New Testament; to 
reject this, cast a sneer at that, and laugh at given passages; 
to jeer at the blood theory as a low barbaric Hebrew idea. 
HE even lets the so-called ministers in the pulpits speak as they 
please about HIM, think as they please about HIM, present HIM 
to the public as they think HE ought to be not as HE is re- 
vealed in the written Word. But such men will yet be reckoned 
with; GOD will yet break this silence. "Our GOD shall come, and 
shall not keep silence." GOD'S silence of two thousand years 
has made the modern higher critics imagine they are little gods 
themselves; that their little cup of brains contains the knowl- 
edge of the universe. They are insolent in their blasphemies 
against the written Word, and are not afraid to put a lie upon 
GOD THE HOLY GHOST. But GOD writes: "I kept silence, thou 
though test that I was altogether such an one as thyself. Now 
consider this, ye that forget GOD, least I tare you in pieces and 
there be none to deliver." 

When that time comes, where will the strutting and cock- 
suredness of these critics be? Poor fools! They shall perish in 
the devilish folly of their socalled scholarship, which will prove 
a very quagmire of Satan this coveted name of "Scholar" ! 

In the years of the reign of THE PRINCE OF PEACE the folly 
of sin will be immediately shown. Justice will not be seemingly 
blind, and vengeance will not slumber. That law is most pointed, 
as to the vengeance that will fall on the nation who shall refuse 
to send representatives every year to the Feast of Tabernacles. 
It reads as follows : 

"And it shall come to pass that every one that is left of all 
the nations which come against Jerusalem shall even go up 
from year to year to worship THE KING, THE LORD OF HOSTS, 
and to keep the feast of Tabernacles." 

"And it shall be, that whosoever will not come up of all the 
families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship THE KING, THE 
LORD OF HOSTS, even upon them shall be no rain." 

"And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that 
have no rain : there shall be the plague, wherewith THE LORD 



94 THAT JEW I 

will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of 
Tabernacles." 

"This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment 
of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of Tabernacles. 
Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, 
and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their 
tongues shall consume away in their mouth." 

The water that springs up at the Altar of Mount Zion is the 
most remarkable stream in the world. Coming out at the south- 
ern part of the altar it flows down the Mount, seemingly under 
the sanctuary, and comes out under the threshold of the gates 
of the South and North ends. At the first few gates it forms 
but a small stream, say to the ankles, but soon, when the streams 
of the other gates meet the waters are up to the knees; when 
the last gate pays its tribute of water, the waters are up to the 
loins. When the streams from both sides meet, the waters have 
grown into a river that cannot be passed over: "For the waters 
were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed 
over." And so this water, now a mighty river, flows murmur- 
ingly along through the portion of the Levites, through the por- 
tion of the city of Jerusalem and finally pours down to the low 
lands in a great cascade a veritable River of Life wherever 
it goes. 

And on either side of the river, caused by its rich beneficence, 
are very many trees. Trees strong in every limb and knowing 
not decay; fruit trees that never are without leaves, buds, 
blossoms and ripened fruit. When the many thousands coming 
and going daily, from one end of the year to the other, visit 
these groves by the river, they ever find the rarest, richest and 
most mellow fruit ready for the plucking, each month having its 
own fruits, and never a mortal who comes here to pluck ever 
turns away disappointed. If thousands, or millions come, it 
matters not. The fruit is ever there to be gathered. And repre- 
sentatives of all the Nations carry away the leaves of this grove, 
for the leaves are a medicine for all wounds and sicknesses. 
Night and day, Winter and Summer, one can see h'appy throngs 
of people of all sizes : the toddling child, the boy, the girl, the 
maiden, the youth, the man, the woman. And like giants of the 
forest, hale and hearty, vigorous men and women, that reckon 



THAT JEW! 95 

their years by hundreds, walk on the banks along this river, 
laughing, and singing songs of praise to the Giver of these 
fruits fruits that never decay. 

It can be readily observed that with such a stream flowing 
before the North and South entrances it would be impossible 
to get to the gateways of the sanctuary without passing through 
the water. Therefore the dust or dirt that may be on the feet of 
the millions, is washed off, before they enter the Courts. Surely 
a most wise provision among such multitudes, and a most healthy 
and restful practice for each individual. 



96 THAT JEW! 



CHAPTER XV. 

A HOUSE OF FEASTING AND OF SONG. 

Twenty-six hundred years ago JEHOVAH by the mouth of His 
prophet thus spoke: 

"The Levites that are gone away far from Me, when Israel 
went astray, which went astray away from Me after their idols : 
they shall even bear their iniquity. Yet they shall be ministers 
in My Sanctuary having charge of the gates of the house, and 
ministering to the house : they shall slay the burnt offering and 
sacrifices for the people, and they shall stand before them to 
minister unto them. Because they ministered unto them before 
their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; 
therefore have I lifted up Mine hand against them, saith THE 
LORD GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity. And they shall not 
come near unto me, to execute the office of priest unto me, nor 
to come near to any of my holy things, in the Most Holy : but 
they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they 
have committed. But I will make them keepers of the charge 
of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be 
done therein. 

"For they shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and 
the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall 
be theirs." 

It will therefore be noted that now the Levites are thrust out 
by JEHOVAH himself from the Priesthood. They receive the 
animals intended for sacrifices, slay them on the blocks outside 
the North side, bring them into the flaying tables at the first 
porch, and there flay, and make ready such parts as are to be 
offered on the altar. They bear the sacrificial parts to the edge 
of the Most Holy but go no further. There stand the sons of 
Zadok ("Sons of The Just One"), RISEN SAINTS, to take the 
sacrifices, and offerings of every kind, that are to be offered and 
burned on the altar on the top of Mount Zion. 

When the Levites entered the North and South Chambers 



THAT JEW! 97 

before the separate places (they be holy chambers) they are 
always clad in linen garments ; and no woolen garments are 
allowed when they ministered within; they have linen bonnets 
on their heads, and linen breeches upon their loins, neither shall 
they gird themselves with anything that causeth sweat. But 
when they go into the outer court to the people, they put off 
their linen garments wherein they ministered, lay them in the 
holy chambers and put on other clothing. All the ministrations 
of the house of whatever description are under the control of 
the Levites, with the exception of ministrations within the circle 
of the Most Holy. They are the guardians, care-takers, ser- 
vants of every detail; divided into courses for various hours, 
that each course may relieve the other, for the gates of this 
sanctuary are never closed. There is no night there, but always 
a perfect day. During the day the sun gives its mellow light, 
and at night the rays of THE KING'S Palace overhead, and the 
flashings of THE GLORY CLOUD, resting ever over the Most Holy 
Place, make every nook and corner of the structure as bright as 
day. There is therefore no cessation of Praise and Prayer in 
this house. 

Besides the course of the Levites and men occupied in the 
various offices, the house always has in its corridors and cellae 
bands of RISEN SAINTS, constantly coming and going on errands 
to the most distant places of the Globe. The Saints never feel 
the want of sleep ; like their RISEN LORD, they are ever awake, 
constantly furthering the wishes and desires of THEIR KING. 

Then we see this house ever open, ever full of restless, but 
calm and peaceful, activity. Guests from all over the world are 
constantly arriving and departing. Then, while the glory of th'e 
house during the day is great, the beauties of the place at night 
are no less attractive. 

The Levites meet the visitors at the doors, make them wel- 
come, inquire as to what is wanted or desired, and direct them 
to such places of the house as they wished to visit. Then the 
hungry are to be fed night and day, the weary are to be con- 
ducted where they may rest, while to others is shown the glory 
of the place. The Levites also are the singers; for this house 
has ever the sound of music and song in its corridors and cellae. 
All musical instruments the world over are to be found here, 



98 THAT JEW! 

with trained artists to render perfect harmony, with trained 
voices for praise, for never a jar or a discord comes here, only 
perfection dwells within these walls. Therefore night and day 
the voice of melody attuned to praise is never silent. 

And here, too, come singers from the Home of the Risen 
Saints, so that mortal ears may listen to some of the heavenly 
melodies, first composed and heard on the banks of the Beautiful 
River in the New Jerusalem; the home prepared for the Risen 
Saints by the loving heart of THE LORD CHRIST. 

For now is fulfilled, indeed, the promise HE made to His 
disciples on the evening of betrayal : " I go to prepare a place 
for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you I will come 
again, and receive you unto myself that where I am, there ye 
may be also/' So for two thousand years His heart taught His 
fingers how to fashion that marvelous Palace of His Love, a 
Palace of precious stones. Then when HE came back HE 
brought that Mansion with HIM. Called His beloved dead 
from their graves, changed the living, and took them to the 
Banquet Chamber in the New Jerusalem, where was held the 
Marriage Supper of THE LAMB ; the first bodily meeting between 
CHRIST and His Saints. And so, now, suspended in the air 
directly covering the entire Holy Land aye, stretching fifteen 
hundred miles in length, and fifteen hundred miles in breadth, 
fifteen hundred miles high yet only faintly revealed to the 
eyes of the dwellers of the Earth it stands, the Home of the 
Saints. Jacob's ladder at last; for the Risen Saints are con- 
stantly coming and going from the upper to the lower Jeru- 
salem. 

The Levites also are Teachers of the People who come to the 
Sanctuary, for we read: "And they shall teach My People the 
difference between the holy and the profane, and cause them to 
discern between the unclean and the clean. And in controversy 
they shall stand in judgment: and they shall judge it according 
to My judgment: and they shall keep My Laws and My Statutes 
in Mine Assemblies: and they shall hallow My Sabbaths." 

The Levites have as a possession twenty cellae, and also a 
magnificent piece of country between the Sanctuary and the 
City a tract twenty-two miles by fifty-seven miles, where stand 
their various dwelling places, amid beautiful gardens and groves. 



THAT JEW! 99 

The Levites are supported entirely by the free will offerings at 
the Temple their only labor being their ministrations at The 
Sanctuary. And surely with THE LORD CHRIST as their Provider, 
and the entire world giving gifts they lack for no good thing. 

As some twenty-five miles lie between The City and the Sanc- 
tuary, of a necessity some provision must be made for feeding 
the many thousands that daily thronged the Sanctuary. 
JEHOVAH wants no hungry crowd to worship before HIM. And 
as it is indeed The House of Prayer for all people (that is, for 
all the nations and peoples of the Earth) surely not an in- 
habitant of the Globe but will wish earnestly to see THE KING 
IN His BEAUTY and to receive an individual blessing at His 
hand. And the provision for their reception is clearly set forth 
by the Prophet Isaiah : "In this mountain shall THE LORD OF 
HOSTS make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines 
on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees 
well refined." 

Man is of the earth and human flesh is just as precious to 
its Maker as the soul, therefore its Maker will not only provide 
good things for the soul of man, but likewise will provide good 
things to satisfy the GOD given appetites of men and women, in 
this sanctuary where The Creature and THE CREATOR can meet 
face to face, and converse with each other. It is absurd to 
think that GOD can hold flesh in contempt in fact it was the 
Spirit, the Soul, that first contaminated the flesh. 

Now the four corner courts are of wonderful architecture, 
imparting a most magnificent appearance to the entire structure. 

And in the Towers The Heavenly Architect made ample pro- 
vision of space to cook food for the millions of guests; four 
courts, each 360 feet square, afford kitchens ample enough to 
prepare a feast of fat things. 

These are the places where the priests boiled the trespass 
offering and the sin offering; where also they bake the meat 
offering, for in the corners of the courts are courts of smoking, 
forty feet long and thirty feet broad, made with boiling places 
under the rows round about. These are the places of them that 
boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices. 
Let us add, large kitchens, where the meat is cooked, and bread 
baked, to make a feast of fat things, for the many thousands that 



100 THAT JEW! 

each day sit down at the tables, to eat of the bread, and meat, 
and to drink of the wine provided by THE KING of the whole 
Earth. 

The KING'S Larder will never be empty willing hearts and 
hands will bring an abundance of all good things to the Sanc- 
tuary. JEHOVAH CHRIST, who blesses the entire world, making 
the store house and the basket of every human full to overflow- 
ing, but not to wasting, will have plenty of willing minds to 
give HIM of the first fruits. "All the flocks of Kedar shall be 
gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister 
unto thee." So the pasture lands, set apart below the temple, 
will ever have a fatted calf for the guest; the bin will ever be 
full of the finest flour; the vats will always be full of the richest 
wines. 

(Never will a being hungry from compulsion of poverty stand 
here in the presence of JEHOVAH.) And we may be positive no 
person ragged, unwashed, or unsuitably clad, will ever tread the 
Courts of the Sanctuary^' JEHOVAH CHRIST will open His hands 
and satisfy the desires (proper desires) of every living thing 
mark the word not the human, but every living thing, bird, 
fish, and animal. Ample provision for the well being of all 
things mark The Reign of THE PRINCE OF PEACE. 

Christians who foolishly condemn the flesh constantly be- 
wailing its shortcomings and sinfulness wishing to be pure 
spirit and be rid of the flesh, fail to see that the Redemption of 
CHRIST was for Body, Soul and Spirit. For the body is just as 
precious in the sight of GOD as the Soul and Spirit all Re- 
deemed from Death by the Blood of THE LAMB. 

And there is ample room in The Sanctuary to feed thousands, 
for surely in those delightful sheltered galleries in the outer 
court in those three upper stories of the building which flank 
the outside wall, ample provision will exist. "These galleries 
contain rooms each averaging 80 feet in length and about 50 feet 
in width. They have in front a terrace running the whole length 
of the outer court, between the corner courts of kitchens, from 
which along the galleries the food would quickly come. There 
would be 74 of these rooms on each level, or 222 on the outside 
of one of the outer courts alone. These figures must be multi- 
plied by 4 and we get 888 dining rooms. We may well forbear 



THAT }W! 101 

to figure out the number of people who could be entertained in 
such a suite of rooms we may safely say 300,000 to 400,000 at 
one setting." (See Sulley.) 

And in the magnificent Cellae is ample space for Courts of 
Justice. Here are the thrones where the twelve Apostles, resur- 
rected and made in the Image of THE RISEN MAN, shall judge. 
Not that every petty offense is brought before the Sanctuary 
Tribunal; but when complicated cases cannot be settled satis- 
factorily before mortal Judges, or whenever appeal is made by 
one of the parties to Jerusalem for final Judgment the con- 
testants come here and the judgment of The Risen Saints is 
final, for they judge righteous judgment. And the Prophecy 
must be fulfilled: "For there are set the thrones of judgment, 
the thrones of the House of David." 

Mr. Sulley of England in his most fascinating and instructive 
book, "Temple of Esekiel's Prophecy," remarks on this head: 
"The buildings composing the circle band are so arranged that 
each double entrance or porch gives access to a space about 
thirty-two feet wide, which can be screened off from similar 
spaces all round the house. There would be three hundred and 
eighty-nine of these courts on the ground floor, and if they are 
three stories high, the number would be one thousand, one hun- 
dred and sixty-seven. Whatever the number, surely there will 
not be too many. The administration of justice at the head 
centre of the whole earth will involve adequate provisions for 
the necessities of the case." 

"At that time they shall call Jerusalem The Throne of THE 
LORD: and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the 
name of THE LORD, to Jerusalem." 

One great fact looms up before the view of every person en- 
tering in at the north side of the house One Great Scriptural 
Truth is brought forcibly to the mind: 

"Without shedding of Blood there is no Remission of Sin!" 

There are eleven gateways, and at each are four slaying 
blocks, two on either side, making forty-four blocks in all, on 
which are the slaying weapons to be used in taking the lives of 
the animals that are to be burned wholly, or in part, on the 
altar on top of Mount Zion. For the Great Doctrine of Sub- 



102 TH^T JEW! 



stitution is the ground rock on which alone must rest the hopes 
of man for salvation from eternal death and the central fact 
of CHRIST'S atonement for sinners is the only ground on which 
a mortal man can look into the face of JEHOVAH and live. 

CHRIST'S great sacrifice once made is final sufficient to meet 
the requirements of GOD'S Law through the endless Ages of 
Eternity for every one to be born of the seed of Adam. 

But the heart of sinning Human Nature is such, that it re- 
quires a constant reminder of the fact, that it lives solely be- 
cause another hath died that it might live. The pride of the 
heart is such that it soon forgets its own innate wickedness 
and dares to be on an equality with GOD not seeing why GOD 
is more Holy than itself. 

(This is the secret of the higher critic's hate to the Old 
Testament Sacrifice for sin is too clearly taught in the Mosaic 
writings, they would therefore make them for the most part 
nothing more than forgeries of a much later date. And this 
is why they read CHRIST out of the 53d of Isaiah. This is the 
reason why they hate the Epistles of Paul and of Peter, and 
would deceive the masses by their cry: "Back to the Christ of 
the Gospels!" 

Surely they have committed the sin against THE HOLY GHOST 
as they deny the testimony of the Spirit of CHRIST in the Old 
Testament, so they make HIM a liar.) 

So then in the age of THE PRINCE OF PEACE it pleased GOD 
to restore the sacrifices as a memorial service to keep con- 
stantly before the mind of humanity, that man is a sinner and 
cannot approach a HOLY GOD except through the Shed Life 
Blood of THE MEDIATOR. 

"Horrible!" I can hear some say when they read these pas- 
sages. But, dear reader, pause and think, before you too scorn 
to believe THE SPIRIT'S testimony on these Sacrificial Ceremo- 
nies, that it hath pleased GOD to appoint; sacrifices that shall 
last at least a thousand years. 

Is the Shed-Blood repulsive to your mind and the "Butcher 
Blood Theory" an abhorrence? Then knowest thou that thy 
heart is in rebellion against GOD, and that thou art in the way 
of Cain, who scorning the thought of bringing Shed-Blood, 
dared to think the works of his own hands, the fruits of his 



THAT JEW! 103 

own toil, were good enough for GOD to accept thereby imagin- 
ing he knew more than GOD. Dear reader, in this matter of 
sacrifices do not be wiser than THE SPIRIT for whether you 
like it or not, IT IS A FACT because it is revealed in GOD'S 
WORD. 

Here then is a Home of Feasting and of Song. A Resting 
Place a "quiet resting place," where the fret and worry of 
Earthly Life may be forgotten quite and where the presence 
of Eternal Beings will show how foolish to weary Soul and 
Spirit by fretting on some trifling, passing care. The Eternal 
Abiding Place so clear to human eye meeting and greeting 
one on every side overshadowing, belittling the present as it 
were, until men see the folly and the sin of fretting. 

Here then the Home of Peace neither sorrow nor care, nor 
fretting, nor mourning, nor crying, nor sighing, can here abide. 
Here where The Risen Saints are ever meeting humanity for 
sweet communion, ever teaching, ever singing and making glad 
melody to gladden and lift up the human to the light and fel- 
lowship of GOD. 

The Voice of Song, Melody and Praise ever sounding in its 
Courts. 

And here THE BLESSED ONE is ever willing to meet, to greet, 
and bless the simplest one born of woman. 

May His name be blessed forever! 

Amen, Amen and Amen.

CHAPTER XVI. 

THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING. 

When our ever BLESSED REDEEMER, then sojourning on earth 
in humiliation, called Jerusalem The City of THE GREAT KING 
no doubt there was before His vision the city that was to be, 
when HE should reign as PRINCE OF THE KINGS OF THE EARTH. 

Now it stands a city glorious to behold and surely worthy 
of its King. 

Built on the high tableland a city set on the hill that can 
not be hid it stands, The One Perfect City of the World a 
pattern for all earth's builders; for the plans and specifications 
in general were given by THE LORD CHRIST HIMSELF. The sew- 
erage is perfect the water supply more than abundant and 
these two blessings help to make any city vigorously healthy. 
Indeed this is the most healthy of all for not one of its reg- 
ular inhabitants has cause to say, "I am sick!" and there is no 
dying in Jerusalem, no mourning in Jerusalem, no sick bed 
in Jerusalem, no beggars in Jerusalem, no poorly clad person 
in Jerusalem! And every one of its inhabitants is "born 
again" one and all being most perfect specimens of humanity; 
for both bodily and spiritually they are sound men, women 
and children. No wicked person can dwell in Jerusalem. The 
words are literally true, "No wicked person shall tarry in MY 
sight." 

And most wonderful, David, the son of Jesse, the Sweet 
Singer of Israel, the Risen Saint, lives and reigns in Jerusalem. 
Every one knows of His royal palace for the mightiest kings 
of the earth come to shake hands with him, who now in every 
thought, act, desire and wish, is a man after God's own heart. 
Jerusalem was ever dear to His heart when as a saved Sinner 
he lived on earth and now he beholds it, in its matchless beauty 
ami surely he takes pleasure in its stones. 

This city is built out of the most enduring materials; the 
rarest colored, and hardest stone is in every public and private 



THAT JEW! 105 

dwellingfor each builder knew he was building a house to be 
inhabited as his own for a thousand years at the very least. 
There are many kinds of buildings suitable for various purposes. 
Business houses, public and private houses, houses of amuse- 
ment, and dwelling places, all approved of by the Great Archi- 
tect, for they serve as perfect models from which the dwellers 
on the earth may take pattern. And every street is a place of 
broad stretches with trees for shade; and a flowing stream fed 
from The Royal River, sings softly in every street. All dwell- 
ing places are open on every side to the sun. There are no 
unsightly rows of never ending brick walls lined up along nar- 
row streets, with alleys behind that send a stench heavenward 
to destroy the healthy air, making it foul and a breeder of 
disease. 

No crowded tenement houses are there; no broken windows, 
filthy alleys, nor miserable, unpainted hovels. Thank God, the 
Ghetto has forever passed away! 

And here business is conducted on strictly righteous and 
honest principles no swerving either to the right or the left. 
The trading is perfectly legitimate, all above board with no 
Board of Trade. 

The merchants here are indeed the Great Ones in the Earth. 
Their cost and selling prices seen by every one who so desires; 
for in Jerusalem there is no speculation of any kind; no buy- 
ing cheap and selling dear; no buying up of an article to make 
it scarce, the buyer being the dictator of its value. No monopo- 
lies, no Trusts are in Jerusalem. It surely is in this case, 
"Jerusalem the Blessed!" No speculators, no men of "Giant 
Intellects," "Keen Business Instincts," nor "Shrewd Operators" 
are here. Such men could not abide one hour in Jerusalem 
for their methods are abhorred by CHRIST. And should they go 
elsewhere, to a foreign country to operate they would soon 
find a Risen Saint at their side to reason with them first in 
love, then in stern warning, and then if they persisted in their 
monopolizing interests, would come sure and sudden death. 
"Trade Monsters," the Wild Beasts of Commerce, are now un- 
knownand surely none dwelt at Jerusalem. 

There is an honest margin of gain everywhere the farmer 
sells his produce at such a price he sells it when ready for 



106 THAT JEW! 

market not holding it to see if it will gain in value. The mid- 
dle man pays an honest price, and sells the product to consumer, 
merchant and manufacturer, at a fair and reasonable gain the 
amount being known to seller and buyer. And the manufac- 
turer purchases knowing well that when his goods are ready 
to sell he will have a certain percentage of profit. No man fears 
the market fluctuations, no manufacturer need suffer a loss unless 
by his own carelessness. Carelessness alone is the bane of 
trading under the reign of THE PRINCE OF PEACE. If differences 
arise in trading both parties go to "The Risen Saint," in whose 
district they are and Righteous Judgment is given. It is vain 
now for man to try to wrong a fellowman; for no sooner does 
the man who suffered the wrong make complaint before The 
Risen Saint, than the doer of the wrong is called to answer 
the charge. 

And there are honest wages : a certain employment com- 
mands certain wages the wages being passed on by a Risen 
Saint so that combinations of labor workers are unknown. 
No strikes are allowed, and no employer is permitted to show 
spleen, or dares to crush the employee, no matter how humble 
his capacity. 

The dream of earth's dreamers is at last a reality. How often 
in the Gospel age, communities were formed on a basis of equal- 
ity to work out a redemption for humanity all, alas, bitter fail- 
ures for such people never calculated on Sin! The absence of 
the grace of GOD always was the fatal defect in their Utopian 
Dreams of a Paradise on a fallen Earth before the arrival of 
the ever BLESSED CHRIST ! 

The Grace of GOD alone can place Capital and Labor on a 
true foundation a foundation of loving trust in each other. 
This is now fully verified in Jerusalem where Capital and 
Labor work harmoniously together, with a minimum of fric- 
tion. Hence, satisfied labor knowing that it is obtaining a just 
reward, puts its heart and soul even into the very lowest occu- 
pation. And then there is no fierce competition for now in- 
deed the laborer stands not idle all day in the market place, 
and is never troubled by the fear of starvation. The mother 
earth responds to little toil and gives forth unceasingly its hun- 
dred folds, for God has lifted up the Curse and the world is a 



THAT JEW! 107 

Paradise and expanse of trees and flowers instead of a waste 
and howling wilderness of sand, cactus and sage brush, while 
weeds and thorns no longer have the mastery. The earth is a 
most bountiful rewarder of all toil. 

And Jerusalem in reality, and in fact, is The Centre Place of 
the Earth; the World's Great Mart for all kinds of Merchan- 
dise. Bills of Exchange are payable at Jerusalem for the 
Jews are still the Bankers of the Earth. But no longer are 
they grasping and avaricious, over reaching, domineering and 
covetous; for The Grace of CHRIST has made them perfect in 
all their dealings and they no longer prey on the Gentiles. 
Jerusalem now dictates the price of Merchandise, the prices of 
the nations being based on what an article will bring in 
Jerusalem. 

The LORD CHRIST is teaching the nations how commerce can 
be indeed a channel of blessing. The hyenas of the race have 
perished and one who dares to wrong his neighbor is soon 
convicted of his infamy. No longer can a man plot, plan, and 
lay snares of trading for the simplest brother; no longer are 
values depressed, nor are they placed at fictitious heights. "A 
Bull and Bear" are utterly abhorrent to the mind of the LORD 
CHRIST, and quick recompense of vengeance comes on the head 
of such. 

Jerusalem has neither lock, nor bar, nor bolt in all its bor- 
ders for fear of thieving No Prisons, nor Station Houses are 
in Jerusalem. Jerusalem never sees a Policeman on her streets. 
With all the traffic of her seaports with her miles upon miles 
of wharfs and docks, yet there are no custom house, no excise 
men. There are no Saloons in Jerusalem ; no drunken men in 
Jerusalem; and a smoker of tobacco is indeed a rare object. 

Peace, quietness and assurance reign in all the borders of 
Jerusalem. 

And then Her Wonderful, Royal River! After meandering 
through the city, it runs over the falls in one grand cascade, it 
glides very gently along without dash and roar, forming on 
the low land below a magnificent pool of vast extent where 
the waters part, half flowing to the east, half to the west. And 
this wonderful Life Giving River makes Jerusalem the Queen 
City of the Seas. 



108 THAT JEW! 

The eastern portion meanders across what was formerly the 
desert lying between Palestine and the River Euphrates. But 
this is no longer a drear sand waste with its wild beasts of 
prey, its coiling serpents, its mirages, and utter desolation. 
Now the river brings life to tree, to bush, to grass and flow- 
ers making great fields of wheat, and maize, and every cereal 
with which High Heaven blesses the richest soils of earth. The 
boundaries of the land as given by JEHOVAH to Abraham are 
now for the first time occupied by the children of Israel 
namely from the Great Sea to the River Euphrates, some 
300,000 square miles. The allotments of seven tribes being 
north of the Holy Oblation, the other five being south. There- 
fore the desert has been rapidly reclaimed. The change in the 
atmosphere when the LORD CHRIST came back, the new streams 
that rose to the surface at the great earthquake, and the lifting 
of the Curse, have changed the desert to a fruitful plain. In 
fact it will be readily observed from what has just been writ- 
ten, that the earthquake at His coming had changed entirely the 
physical features of Palestine; had lifted up vast tracts of this 
and the surrounding country so that in reality it is a strange, 
new land from that of the former years. 

The coming of the Royal River in the former desert has 
made it now to bloom and blossom as the rose. Towns and 
villages have sprung up, houses are embowered in trees, and 
scattered over all, is grain, grass, and flowers in tropical pro- 
fusion. Laughter and song abound where once were the roars 
and screams of beasts of prey; peace, where once was savage 
warfare. True, the lion is still there, but now eating straw 
like the ox ; the bear and her cubs are there, but feeding quietly 
in the pastures with the cattle; the wolf and lamb lap the 
same streams, fur and wool side by side; the serpent is there, 
but the laughing youth takes it in his hand, wrapping the coils 
around himself and the blushing maiden of his choice, so that 
both are enfolded by the glistening coils of the beautiful, harm- 
less creature as by a betrothal ring. 

And as this Royal River flows into the Euphrates, behold! 
a waterway on whose bosom come ships from the sun-kissed 
continents and islands of the Orient ladened with merchandise, 
and bearing visitors to the City of THE GREAT KING. 



THAT JEW! 109 

And that part of the Royal River which flows westward, 
down to the Dead Sea, has so healed it, that its waters are filled 
with all such fishes as swarm in the Great Sea. The bed of 
the Jordan has been lifted up until its waters flow down the 
old channel of earlier ages into the Red Sea; and behold! 
through the estuary of the Great Sea at Joppa, sail gallant ves- 
sels from the Great Sea down the river to the Red Sea, and 
so are the Occident and the Orient wedded at Jerusalem. 

And the Dead Sea is no longer dead, but instead a place 
where fishers have no need of toiling all night and catching 
nothing for the fish according to their kinds are exceedingly 
many. And here are never- failing salt mines; for some miry 
places and marshes were not healed by the flow of the Royal 
River, but still remain in all their wealth of salt to bless hu- 
manity. And on either side of this once barren, bitter, lifeless 
lake now flourish groves of trees, the very beauty of the earth, 
trees of meat, "whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit 
thereof fail in abundance; they shall bring forth new fruit 
according to the months, the fruit thereof shall be for meat and 
the leaf thereof for medicine." 

And now one can fully realize the exact fulfilment of the 
words of The LORD CHRIST, spoken in the days of His humilia- 
tion. The woes uttered by HIM against Capernaum, Ch'orazin, 
Bethsaida, have been truly fulfilled for these cities that had 
rejected HIM, despised His teachings, and were unconvinced 
by His miracles, have never been rebuilt. Instead, their former 
site is covered by the blue waters of the Sea of Galilee while 
Sodom and Gomorrah have arisen from the dead waters once 
more to be rebuilt, their borders inhabited, and their sites and 
surroundings blest in a most wonderful manner. 

See the vast quays, and wharfs, and landing places, along the 
seacoast, where a thousand ships float in the offing, unloading 
and loading, coming from, and going to, every port of entry 
around the vast globe. 

Here thousands land every day from sea craft of all descrip- 
tions, going up to the City of THE GREAT KING for Jerusalem 
has become the "Star of the World/' and now called 
JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH 
THE LORD Is THERE. 



;iO THAT JEW! 

"Blessed be THE LORD GOD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, wh'o doeth 
wondrous things. 

"And Blessed be His Glorious Name forever: and let the 
whole earth be filled with His Glory." 

Amen and Amen. 
The End.

THE SONG OF A RISEN SAINT. 



O Wonderful, Wonderful City! How often in the days of 
our first sojourn on the earth have our hearts cried out for 
thee: for our eyes to see, our feet to tread thy streets, O fair 
and matchless City of our best desires Jerusalem! 

How often in the days of our first sojourn on the earth have 
our hearts cried out in the words of Thy Poet-King: "Oh, 
that the Salvation of Israel were come out of Zion ! when the 
LORD bringeth back the Captivity of His People, Jacob shall re- 
joice, and Israel shall be glad! O send out THY light and THY 
truth: let them lead me: let them bring me unto THY Holy 
Hill, and to THY Tabernacles." 

Now we the Risen Saints can see: 

"His Foundation is in the Holy Mountain." 

"THE LORD loveth the Gates of Zion more than all the dwell- 
ings of Jacob." 

"Glorious things are spoken of thee, O City of GOD." 

Now we can "walk about Zion go round about her, and be- 
hold and number her towers." Yea, Brothers, "Mark well her 
bulwarks, consider the exceeding beauty of her palaces. The 
City of The Lord of Hosts, The City of OUR GOD, GOD will 
establish it forever." 

O City of Laughter and Light! O City of Joy and Re- 
joicing! O City of Love and Peace where no care nor fret- 
ting for the tomorrow need ever be ! O City of Plenty, where 
hunger of mouth; nor hunger of heart, may never be! O City 
of Music and Rapturous Song, where melodious voice and tone 
of melody will never be silent but ever, ever, rippling on with- 
out the shadow of a care, nor fretting, nor discord, nor cen- 
sorious voice, tone or accent; where working hand is ever in- 
spired by the melody of happy hearts, some of whom can never 
be still from praising; for when one waxeth silent another is 
ever ready by finger or lip to continue the beauty of melody in 
the spirit of rejoicing. 



112 THAT JEW! 

O City Beloved of the World ! To th'ee from every zone bring 
willing hearts their choicest treasures. To beautify thy palaces, 
the rarest and costliest of stones are brought from every mine 
and quarry of the world. Natural curiosities from every land 
are brought to beautify thy dwellings, thy palaces, thy parks, 
thy streets, thy gardens. Ah! There is no rare tree, or bush, 
or flower of any clime, arctic, tropical, semi-tropical, or mod- 
erate, which is not brought to beautify thy parks, thy gardens 
and thy chambers. Without money, without price is the gift 
given; brought to thy feet without thy desire, thy asking or 
thy wishing; gifts that required time, treasure, labor and 
anxiety, to make thee beautiful, O my beloved City! 

O City of Superb Atmosphere, where never lurks for an in- 
stant aught that would bring spot, or blight, or blemish, or 
tinge of sickness to the most helpless babe born of the chil- 
dren of Adam ! 

O City with an an atmosphere wherein all tropical fruit and 
flowers will bud and blossom, and bring forth to perfection 
and yet where the sun will never distress with its heat, nor 
wither with its fierceness. For the glory of the sometimes 
visible New Jerusalem stretches above the entire length and 
breadth of IMMANUEI/S Land The Dwelling Place of JEHO- 
VAH CHRIST and His Risen Saints, therefore the wind blow- 
eth not in its fierceness; the storms of rain, or snow, or sleet 
are never disagreeable, and never break the tenderest bud or 
twig in the City of Our Love. The seasons are equable neither 
heat nor cold are too pronounced, but they are veritable bless- 
ings in every aspect and every change of the coming and the 
going of the year. 

O City of Our Love! Thou shalt abide forever shall never 
know of a change, and thou shalt ever be 

THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING!
